England U21 forward Tammy Abraham hopes to emulate Marcus Rashford's rise to the top as he targets a future at Chelsea.
Abraham, currently on loan at Sky Bet Championship club Bristol City, scored twice on his full debut for England U21s on Tuesday to send another message to the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.
The 19-year-old is the Championship's top scorer with eight goals and has netted 11 goals in 14 matches for the Robins in all competitions since joining from Chelsea.
Rashford, who has scored 12 goals for Manchester United since breaking onto the scene in February, made England's Euro 2016 squad and has earned five senior caps, scoring once.
"He is a good example for all the youngsters really. He is just a great player and he is getting a chance and he's performing," Abraham said.
"Every time you get that chance out on the pitch you just have to give your all and hopefully the chances will keep coming.
"I've played against him. I played against him two weeks before his debut and it was phenomenal.
"We knew he was a danger for his team. This was at the U18 level and in the Youth Cup and a few weeks later he went out and won the actual FA Cup so that was a dream for him and I'm happy for him.
"There are talented youngsters out there that just need to get given the chance."
Abraham made two substitute appearances for Chelsea at the end of last season and, after taking the Championship by storm, he wants to return to the club and make his mark next year.
"My aim is to push as much as I can wherever I can and if I do go back to Chelsea just give my all and hopefully push for the first team," he said ahead of Bristol City's match away at Cardiff on Friday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7.30pm.
"A team like Chelsea is always going to be a hard team to break into but every time I get my opportunity I just have to give my all to perform."
