When it came to making a judgement call, Abraham reveals his main dilemma was picking between Swansea and Newcastle.
'It was mainly those two (teams) but the gaffer (Paul Clement) came to my house, got to know my family and I made my decision there and then, he had nice ambitions for me,' said Abraham.
The striker also admitted he had heard lots of Clement from staff back at his parent club Chelsea, where the manager learned his trade under Jose Mourinho.
'I spoke to the staff at Chelsea and they suggested Paul, he's a tactical guy and that's a place you want to be - he will improve you,' said Abraham.
