Aston Villa striker, Tammy Abraham was the subject of much speculation linking him with a move to Wolves, amid reports from Sky Sports that his loan move could be cut short at Villa Park. 

But Abraham opted to stay with Dean Smith's side, which will be a huge boost to everyone associated with the club as Villa look to return to the Premier League.

The on-loan forward has 19 goals to his name in Villa's league campaign this season, and his goals will be crucial to Villa if they are to force themselves into the top six.

In an interview with the Express & Star, Abraham revealed that Aston Villa felt like home, and described it as a 'great club'.

"I felt like here was home. The boys made me feel at home straight away. The new gaffer came in after me and players like John Terry who I grew up watching and playing with at Chelsea.

"It feels like a big family with the fans, everyone supporting. It’s a great team, great stadium, great staff.

The forward also revealed that Dean Smith and John Terry were one of the main reasons as to why he opted to stay with the promotion chasing side for the remainder of the season.

"Dean Smith and John Terry, to be fair, they called me every day! They said, ‘Listen, we believe you’ll score many goals here. We believe you could possibly take us up as well."

"When a manager believes in you that deeply it gives you that confidence as well to go out there every game, do your best for the team, the staff, coaches and everyone who believes in you."

Abraham will be hoping to add to his already impressive goal tally when his Villa side take on Sheffield United on Friday evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras in one of their toughest tests of the season so far.

The Verdict: 

Abraham's decision to stay with Villa is a huge boost to their promotion chances this year.

He is one of the best strikers in the Championship by some distance, and if he had left the club in January, then I would have feared that Villa would have dropped out of the play-off race.

It's a credit to Smith and Terry's work at the club this season and Abraham will be the man to keep Villa in contention for the top six.
