Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham is reportedly nearing a loan move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Abraham is currently on loan at Aston Villa from Chelsea, and the England international has netted 16 Championship goals for the club to top the scoring charts in the second tier.

Wolves were believed to be keen to sign Abraham on a permanent deal, but Chelsea are now reluctant to sell the 21-year-old as they feel that he should still become a first-team player for the club.

According to the Daily Mail, Wolves are nearing an agreement with Chelsea which will see the Englishman spend the second half of the 2018-19 campaign with last season's Championship winners.

Abraham, who made his England debut against Germany in November 2018, has previously played in the Premier League for both parent club Chelsea and Swansea City, who he represented during the 2017-18 season.

Chelsea have until January 14 to recall the centre-forward from Villa.
