Makelele: Abraham can become Drogba or Eto'o if he works harder

Swansea City Assistant manager and former Chelsea great, Claude Makelele is tipping Swansea's Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham to become a great player in the mold former  Chelsea stars, Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o Fils if he continues to work hard.


“He’s young and he has time on his side,” he said.

“He wants to be one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He gets an example in the way Drogba and Eto’o play, but to do that he must work like they did.

“Can he play for Chelsea? I hope so. He needs to be successful with Swansea first and learn more and more to come back and push for Antonio Conte’s team. It’s going to be difficult.”


“He needs to adapt very well but we will push him. He has to show the ambition to reach the top.

“I tell him to do everything: run, fight. Some young players think about dribbling but they need to understand about their team-mates. He is fast. Go in space and you’ll make the difference for your team-mates. It all depends on him.

“He’s good. But he has to push himself and learn more. Then he can be one of the best strikers in the Premier League.”

Chelsea are hopeful of integrating Tammy Abraham into the first team if he continues to make progress in his development. The striker has scored three goals so far in all competitions for Swansea City this season.
