The former Aston Villa loanee is believed to be assessing Chelsea‘s activity in the transfer market before putting pen to paper.
Team-mate Hudson-Odoi earns £120k a week plus bonuses after being signed up to a five-year deal back in September.
The 19-year-old winger was the subject of strong interest from German champs Bayern Munich before the Blues stepped in to solidify his future in West London.
New Chelsea striker Timo Werner will collect £170k a week and Abraham is likely to use the two figures as a starting point for negotiations.
