Story

In the summer of 2021, Tammy Abraham transferred from Chelsea to AS Roma for £34 million, seeking more consistent playing time. The English forward initially made his mark at Chelsea, scoring 30 goals in 82 appearances but found himself sidelined with fewer opportunities. His decision to move was largely influenced by a conversation with coach Jose Mourinho, who humorously encouraged him to leave England for Italy. In his first season at Roma, under Mourinho's guidance, Abraham enjoyed significant success, netting 27 goals in 53 matches. However, a serious knee injury during his second season limited his appearance and performance, coinciding with Mourinho's departure from the club. Abraham has since transitioned to a loan at AC Milan and continues to reflect positively on his career experiences in Rome and Milan.
