Robinson: Aston Villa 'likely' to sign Abraham after what I saw at Villa Park
Tammy Abraham will "definitely" leave Chelsea this summer and Aston Villa are in pole position to re-sign him.

"Let's be honest, the writing is on the wall. He is going to leave.
"I think Aston Villa is probably his most likely destination. Abraham has a great relationship with the fans at Villa and you could see that on Sunday.

"Villa will be one of two or three options he will have. He is a top young striker who is proven in the Premier League. There is not many of them around."
