Pat Nevin is a huge admirer of Tammy Abraham, with the Chelsea legend describing him as having the potential to be the Blues’ best player.
Under Frank Lampard, the 21-year-old has blossomed into a superb centre forward, with his subtle brilliance making him a key component of the Blues’ attack.
The Chelsea forward has enjoyed a brilliant start to the 2019/20 campaign, scoring four goals in four Premier League games.
Nevin knows a talented footballer when he sees one, and he has great admiration for Tammy Abraham’s many qualities.
He believes the Nigerian/English has become more consistent over time.
He told the club’s website: “It is fabulous that Tammy is continuing his goal-scoring spree and doing it with different types of goals. Clearly he is no one-trick pony.
“He is getting the tap-ins and the fine strikes from distance but he is also getting the scruffy ones nicked from defensive mistakes.
“The last category is vital if you are going to get 20 in a season or more in the Premier League. Every top scorer will tell you the same thing; a 40-yard pile driver counts the same as a two-yard mishit as long as it goes over that line.”
There were calls from some quarters for Lampard to field French international Olivier Giroud, but Tammy Abraham looks set to be first choice going in the ongoing campaign 2019/20.
He is the perfect foil for his attacking teammates, and would be nice to him score more.
