London: Chelsea's Tammy Abraham believes that talent alone is never enough and one must put in the hard yards to grow as a player.

A website quoted Abraham as saying, "You have to be hungry and work hard because you see a lot of talent at the younger ages when you're growing up at Chelsea but we know that talent alone is never enough." "You have to put in that extra work and work even harder. For me right now, it's still all about working as hard as I can and trying to be the best I can be."

Even after making 21 Chelsea appearances,Abraham feels that he still gets taken aback from time to time at how quickly he has emerged onto the senior stage at Stamford Bridge following a 15-year association with his boyhood club. Much of that journey was spent in the club's Academy but it is his time on loans at Bristol City, Swansea City and Aston Villa that have taught him most about adapting to the men's game.
