Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham completed a deadline day move to Aston Villa on loan. The Englishman spent last season with Swansea City as he bagged eight goals for the Welsh side but could not stop them from being relegated.
We have agreed a season-long loan deal with Aston Villa for @TammyAbraham…
Good luck, Tammy! https://t.co/56DCkXfJvu

The youngster was one of the bright sparks for the Welsh side last season and could have done a decent job for us had he stayed. After all, Chelsea didn’t buy a striker in the summer window and even loaned out Michy Batshuayi to Valencia.
Although Abraham would have found it hard to start ahead of Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata, a few Chelsea fans were upset about his transfer.
The 20-year-old would be playing Championship football for now but some Chelsea fans were critical of the move and shared their opinions on Twitter.
This club never fails to disappoint me

Why any promising kid even signs with this club is beyond me.

Why loan him out to a championship side. He has already dominated the league so give him a bigger challenge pic.twitter.com/wpbVIE4m27

Maybe he deserved a couple of matches with Morata benched.

Strange move

If we loaned him out why did we loan out Michy?

Tammy Abraham > Morata but if I speak I am in trouble
