AS Roma agree £34m for Abraham
Italian club As Roma has reached an agreement to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham for £34m, being on the verge of an exit for the EPL club, the Italian Serie A could be his forte this season.
The deal will be confirmed when the 23-year-old striker decides to join Roma currently managed by former coach, Jose Mourinho.
According to Megasportsarena, going to Rome would also mean a dent to bids from Arsenal of England and Atalanta of Italy, who are also interested in signing Abraham.
Abraham fell out of favour at Chelsea midway last season, when Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as coach, and he was left out of the squad for the UEFA Champions League final.
The 23 year-old previously spent time on loan at Bristol City, Swansea City and Aston Villa, would prefer staying put in England, but Chelsea’s prefer selling him to a team outside the Premier League.
Meanwhile,the forthcoming of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan is set to push Abraham further down the pecking order and all but end the possibility of him staying at Stamford Bridge.
Despite his limited game-time during the second half of last season, Abraham ended the campaign as Chelsea’s joint-top scorer with 12 goals.
He has featured in each of Chelsea’s three pre-season friendlies and could be involved as they take on Villarreal in the Super Cup final on Wednesday.
