BRIGHTON and Newcastle have been given permission to speak to Chelsea starlet Tammy Abraham about a loan deal.
The Premier League new boys are both looking for extra strength up front, with the Seagulls thought to be the early favourites for the England Under-21 striker.
Abraham took the Championship by storm last season, scoring 26 goals in 48 appearances on loan at Bristol City.
The 19-year-old is considered one of the country’s best young talents.
Chelsea clearly see the young bounty hunter as one for the future.

But, in the meantime, are happy to offer him a renewed contract and loan him out again to give Abraham the best possible chance to fulfil his potential.
The Blues are determined to manage the player’s career carefully.
Last season they could have signed Brazilian striker Gabigol, 20, because they rate Abraham so highly and don’t want to block his ultimate Abraham’s path into the first team.
Brighton, meanwhile, are among a queue of clubs interested in signing Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who is also expected to be allowed to leave Chelsea on a season-long loan.
