Tammy Abraham is understood to demand a wage package of around £130,000-a-week in order to put pen-to-paper on a new long-term contract with Chelsea.

The west London giants have recently recruited Timo Werner to strengthen their frontline, but they are still keen on tying Abraham to a new and improved deal.

Abraham is currently on a weekly salary of around £50,000-a-week and The Times claims that he is eyeing a wage package similar to fellow academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi.

It is added that the England international wants a £80,000-a-week increase on his present remuneration in order to commit his long-term future to the capital outfit.

Abraham has another two years remaining on his contract. He recently scored his 16th goal of the season in the 3-2 Premier League win over Crystal Palace on the road.

The Blues are presently third in the standings with 60 points, but they could be leapfrogged by Leicester City, should they win their game in hand over Arsenal tonight.
