Chelsea in talks with Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori over ‘double your money’ deals
CHELSEA are in talks with bright young pair Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori over new 'double your money' contracts at Stamford Bridge, according to reports.
The pair have started the season in fine fashion and have both been rewarded with call-ups to Gareth Southgate's latest England squad.
Abraham, 22, has a deal that runs until 2022 worth around £50k-a-week but the Blues will double his money to around £100k-a-week, according to the .
The young forward has bagged seven goals from seven Premier League games this season and Frank Lampard is keen to get him tied down as he sees him as a huge part of his long-term plans.
Abraham helped Aston Villa to promotion last season when he was on loan with Dean Smith's men.
Tomori, 21, has also burst onto the scene this campaign.
The youngster only has two years left on his current deal that he signed before heading to Derby on loan last season.
But having made four Prem starts already this season and making his Champions League debut at Lille on Wednesday, the Blues are keen to reward him for his recent form.
The new deal would be a significant increase on his current salary given his elevated position at the club.

Tomori also spoke fondly about Lampard and the effect he has had on his career so far.
He said: "Hearing that the manager has confidence and faith in me is good and only makes me play better.
"Obviously, last year at Derby, he helped me a lot and this year he’s told me how I can fit into the team and what I need to do to improve. I’ve just tried to do that.”
