Just 18 months ago, Abraham was one of a host of Chelsea players packed off for yet another loan spell that seemed to indicate his chances of ever shining with the Blues were slim to non-existent.But Abraham's time in the Championship with Aston Villa proved the making of the young striker and Chelsea are reaping the rewards.
Abraham is just 22 and is playing only his second season in the top-flight, but the England international's huge value to Chelsea was clear to see over the last 10 days.When he was sidelined with a hip injury for their London derby against West Ham, Abraham's absence left Chelsea looking impotent as they slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat.
It is a far cry from his dismal loan spell at Swansea in 2017-18 when his lack of goals and subdued performances led some to suggest the Londoner wasn't cut out for the Premier League. "Not only is he scoring goals he is playing for the team, recovering the ball; he made a tackle in our own half that was an amazing effort for him," Azpilicueta said after the Villa game.
"It is amazing and he has the potential to go even higher. We know we are still in December with a lot of games but with his passion and hunger, he is capable of getting to the top, for sure.
