Reports have claimed that former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is now interested in returning to the Premier League.

According to Caught Offside, the switch could come to fruition after Romelu Lukaku recently joined Roma on loan.

This summer just gone saw numerous reports that the Blues were considering a move to bring Abraham back to Stamford Bridge for the current season.

It has previously been quoted that a fee of around £68m would be required in order for a deal to get over the line as part of their buy-back option.

The striker position at the club has been one which has come under much scrutiny pretty much ever since the academy graduate was phased out of the first team.

In response to big signings such as Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, the England international saw his appearances drop, eventually finding himself make the move to Italy.

Abraham wants PL return

However, those brought in to replace Abraham have by no means contributed more than he did originally, and this has led to a real lack of goals at Stamford Bridge in recent seasons.

They have looked to solve that quandary right now with the addition of Nicolas Jackson, who finished last season in red-hot form in La Liga.

He has looked a promising addition to the squad as a whole, however questions are already beginning to crop up regarding his finishing in the key moments.

He notably missed a huge chance late against Nottingham Forest when the Blues were trailing 1-0, with the moment sucking the life out of Stamford Bridge in the process.

However, he has shown enough to suggest that he can still be a star in West London with regular gametime.
