Swansea have signed Chelsea's England Under-21 striker Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan.

Abraham, who earlier announced on Twitter that he had signed a five-year deal with his parent club, joins Swansea after the Welsh club beat fellow Premier League clubs Brighton and Newcastle to his signature.

Swansea announced the expected move on their official website, saying Abraham will link up with his new team-mates during the club's tour of the United States later this month.

Abraham, 19, spent last season on loan at Bristol City where he scored 26 goals, 23 of them in the Championship.

He has just returned from international duty with the England Under-21s at Euro 2017 and becomes Swansea's second summer signing following the arrival of Dutch goalkeeper Erwin Mulder from Heerenveen.
