Anwar El Ghazi was the only other player to hit double figures in the Villa squad, netting 11 times.

Abraham had a successful spell on loan at Villa in the 2018/19 season, scoring 25 goals in the club’s promotion-winning campaign.

Villa are preparing an offer in excess of £30million to secure the 23-year-old’s signature.

Abraham remarkably ended the season as Chelsea’s joint-top goalscorer in all competitions, despite his severe lack of game time in recent months.

The England international scored 12 goals in all competitions, the same number as Timo Werner.
