Paul Merson says that Tammy Abraham should leave Chelsea this summer to seek game time elsewhere, with West Ham United among the clubs interested in the England forward.

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has tipped Tammy Abraham to leave Chelsea this summer, amid speculation of a transfer to West Ham United.

Abraham has struggled for game time since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, having only featured five times, and the German has said "there is no easy way of getting back into my team".

The 23-year-old is an academy graduate at Stamford Bridge and has been sent out on loan three times in his Chelsea career, gaining experience at Bristol City, Swansea City and Aston Villa.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Merson said that Abraham should seek game time elsewhere: "I think he will be on his way, I think Abraham will be on his way.

"There will be plenty of takers, absolute plenty of takers for me, but not at one of the top clubs at the moment."

West Ham are among the clubs to be interested in the England forward, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury in recent weeks.

Abraham has 30 goals in 80 appearances since his first-team debut in 2016 for the Blues.
