The 22-year-old has managed to score nine goals in 12 outings for the west Londoners in all competitions this season, including eight Premier League goals during an impressive start to the campaign.

However, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are confident that an agreement will soon be finalised between the two parties over a fresh deal.

Abraham still has little under three years left to run on the contract.
