Tammy Abraham needs to develop a nasty streak like former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

That is according to ex-Blues defender Mario Melchiot.

Abraham has already proven his goalscoring chops, having blasted in seven this season. But Melchiot thinks his game can reach another level.

"Tammy Abraham is a real finisher but, as much as I like him as a player, he's sometimes got to be more of a bad boy," Melchiot told talkSPORT.

"You know why? When you play against players like Virgil van Dijk, the striker has to have a bit of badness in him. A bit of nastiness.

"OK, look at the guys I played against, like Ryan Giggs. He was so elegant, he dribbled beautifully, but trust me, if I kicked him he would have got up and either kicked me back or found a way to do it he was one of the best players I played against.

"Tammy needs that too. As cute as he looks, he's young, fresh and exciting to watch, he needs to have that.

"If you look at Drogba, [Jimmy Floyd] Hasselbaink, these guys weren't cute when you played against them.

"Be a little bit of a bad boy! Bring that badness out of you!"
