Crystal Palace have reportedly identified Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham as a potential loan signing for the January transfer window.

Abraham is currently set to spend the rest of the campaign at Aston Villa, and the England Under-21 international has already netted 12 goals from 16 Championship outings this season.

However, according to The Telegraph, Palace are hoping that Chelsea may consider switching Abraham to Selhurst Park in order for the youngster to gain more action in the Premier League.

The Eagles have netted just 14 goals from 17 games in the top flight this season, and manager Roy Hodgson is keen to bring in another striker at the start of 2019.

Abraham failed to make much of an impact during a temporary spell at Swansea City last season, but Palace are allegedly see the 21-year-old as a potential solution to their struggles in the final third.
