Tammy Abraham has been in form since he joined Chelsea at the start of the 2019-2020 season. The youngster has already set many records for both Chelsea and in the league. He is considered by many to be the next Didier Drogba that the London club has been looking to get.
Since the exit of the former Chelsea talisman, the club is still yet to get a prolific goal scorer who has maintained his consistency even after getting stars like Fernando Torres, Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata, and Higuain.
Hence, when Abraham came and was handed the number 9 jersey, not too many believed he would do too well because judging by history, some are of the opinion that Chelsea’s number 9 jersey is cursed. He is already proving doubters wrong.
In the class of young players like Mason Mount, here are records already ser by the young England and Chelsea forward:
