Fikayo Tomori outlines role in Tammy Abraham's Chelsea departure and sets Man United challenge

Fikayo Tomori has admitted he gave Tammy Abraham 'rave reviews' of Serie A ahead of the forward's move to Roma in the summer. The former Blues forward completed a £34 million move to the Italian capital, despite being Chelsea's top goalscorer in the 2020/21 season, to link up with Jose Mourinho as he signed a five-year deal.

The transfer came just months after Tomori turned his loan to AC Milan into a permanent deal as the Rossoneri triggered the option they had and footed up a £25 million fee with the potential for another £5 million in add-ons. Outside of some injury problems, the former Blues defender has been almost ever present for Stefano Pioli's side since making the move to Italy, and Abraham appears to have adapted just as quickly.

The striker has already scored 23 goals for the Giallorossi, more than the likes of Gabriel Batistuta in his first season in the Italian capital, including 15 in 29 league appearances. Tomori felt the league could improve Abraham, and the forward appears to have settled well.
