Garth Crooks has backed Tammy Abraham to be a success at Chelsea after impressing in the opening weeks of the Premier League season.
The striker looked likely to move on before the Blues' transfer ban offered him an opportunity to stake a claim for a regular spot in the Chelsea first team.
Despite missing a penalty in the Super Cup final, Abraham has been a regular feature for Frank Lampard which led to him scoring a brace in the 3-2 victory over Norwich City on Saturday.
Writing for the BBC, Crooks has said that the performance against the Canaries has given him confidence that Abraham does in fact have what it takes to be a success at Stamford Bridge.
He said: "I must be honest, I never thought that Tammy Abraham was a Chelsea player.
"That was because I always saw Chelsea as a top-four team.
"Frank Lampard has seen something in this kid and Abraham looks like he is prepared to walk over broken glass for Lampard.
"Provided that allegiance remains intact, Abraham has a chance of making it at Chelsea. His first goal against the Norwich was brilliantly instinctive, while his second was taken like a player who is growing in confidence.
"Abraham can now put that penalty miss in the Super Cup well and truly behind him and the trolls can take a running jump."
