TAMMY ABRAHAM cannot stop scoring – but his main goal this season is firing Bristol City into the Premier League.
The 19-year-old is enjoying a golden start to life at Ashton Gate after joining Lee Johnson’s side on loan from Chelsea.
Strapping striker Abraham, who bagged two on his first England Under-21s start this week, has scored 11 goals already for the Championship high-flyers in all competitions.
Naturally, with his goals helping to fire the Robins up to fifth-place in the table, the attention surrounding the frontman is starting to mount with each passing week.
The teenager, however, is only concentrating on one thing at the moment – and that is helping City to reach the top-flight.

Speaking exclusively to SunSport ahead of City’s trip to Cardiff on Friday night, Abraham said: “Hopefully - that's my main goal.
“The boys are great lads and we've got a fantastic team.
“The likes of Lee Tomlin, who is a fantastic player… We just keep proving people wrong and doing so much right this season.”
Abraham, who made his Chelsea debut at the end of the last season, was part of an all-conquering Blues youth team that won numerous FA Youth Cups and two Uefa Youth Leagues.
Despite his size, the step up into the hotbed of the Championship could have proved a difficult transition to make, but he is thriving in a “man’s world”.
“I think I've found that chances come very rarely and you have to be in the right position at the right time,” he explained.
“Chances rarely come as you're playing against stronger, faster and bigger players so I've had to adapt my style of play.
“Every time I go out there I just try to find the weakness of my opponent and then use that to my advantage.”
Abraham continued: “But since arriving at Bristol I've settled in very well really and I've gone into a man's world.
“The boys and people have made me feel really welcome everywhere I've gone really, and that's what I needed - it's given me the confidence I needed.
“All of them have helped me really. We are a team and we like to go out and do things together.
“But I also spend time by myself, resting, relaxing and getting good food under my belt. That's what I get up to on most days.”
And things could not have got off to a better start for the Camberwell-born ace as he came off the bench to notch against Wigan on the first day of the season.
And he highlights that moment as the key for his upshot of goals since.
He added: “That was massive for me.
“I was so eager to get out there on the pitch and show the world what I am capable of doing.
“Luckily I got that chance and I took it.”
