Roma –
Trainer AS Roma Jose Mourinho praise the courage Tammy Abraham move to the club. Because, not many English players who dare to play in Italy.
Abraham is Roma’s latest purchase after being signed from Chelsea with a tag of 40 million euros plus a five million euro bonus. Later the transfer money will be repaid in several seasons.
Abraham is contracted until 2026 and immediately given the number nine jersey. This is proof that Mourinho believes in Abraham to be a new mainstay in attack.
Despite being thrown out of the Chelsea squad, Abraham was actually the club’s top scorer last season with 12 goals. In the last two seasons, Abraham has become the Chelsea player with the most goals involved in the Premier League, which is 25 goals.
So naturally Mourinho expects a lot from Abraham this season. Moreover, according to him, Abraham has proven his courage to play outside England, especially Serie A, when not many English players do it.
“I wanted to see what Tammy was like first, but I believed in what he said. I know Tammy Abraham since he was a kid. He was never coached by me, because he was 14, 15, 16 when I was at Chelsea, but I know him very well. Jose Mourinho from Football-Italia.
“I know him as a player as well as a person, mentally. English players usually don’t want to leave their country and the Premier League, that’s been talked about a lot. If you leave the Premier League it’s because you have big ambitions, because you want to come back to playing in the Premier League. the national team, because you want to play in the World Cup and win trophies outside England. Not many English players have had brilliant careers.”
“He came here with that ambition and we hope to see his best qualities. I am satisfied with our attack because we have Tammy, Eldor Shomurudov and Borja Mayoral.”
