2. ST – Tammy Abraham, 19

Tammy Abraham is a star in the making, no question about it. At age 19, Abraham netted 23 goals to go along with 3 assists in 41 Championship matches for Bristol City. The on-loan Chelsea FC forward is just one man in the “loan army.”

If Aston Villa were to acquire Abraham on a season-loan, it would be quite the coup. As devastating as Tammy was, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte may prefer he spends one more year at another club – to gain valuable first team experience.

Adding Abraham to spell Kodjia at the beginning means Villa can hit the ground running next year.

The problem? Chelsea are a little bit shy up front, making some believe he has a place with the Blues next season. Diego Costa, as great as he is, is a perennial injury and suspension threat. Likewise, Michy Batshuayi took his time to find form at Stamford Bridge.

Tammy Abraham and fellow loanee Bertrand Traoré could see extended time in the first team next year for Chelsea.
