Former Newcastle United striker Micky Quinn has questioned Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham's "weak" decision to reportedly choose a loan move to Swansea City over the Magpies.

Abraham had previously been strongly linked with a move to newly-promoted Newcastle, though reports emerged last week suggesting that he had been urged by Chelsea to instead seek a temporary switch elsewhere to avoid being tempted by the North-East nightlife.

Writing in his Newcastle Chronicle column, Quinn hit out at Abraham for choosing the 'smaller club' in Swansea.

"I have to say I am extremely disappointed in Tammy Abraham," he said. "If he really is set to choose Swansea City over Newcastle United, I would seriously question his decision. It shouldn't take me to tell him that Newcastle is a far bigger football club than Swansea. I admit I didn't release just how huge a club Newcastle was until I signed, but I always knew it was a big club.
