Tammy Abraham admits Mo Salah and Romelu Lukaku played part in his Chelsea exit

Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has suggested that he took inspiration from Mohamed Salah and Romelu Lukaku ahead of his exit from Stamford Bridge.

The England forward departed his boyhood club last summer in a £40m switch to Italian giants having fallen down the pecking order in west London. He was only afforded four starts by Thomas Tuchel following the German’s arrival over a year ago.

The move to the Stadio Olimpico brought to an end his 17-year spell with the Blues. Abraham has admitted that his decision to quit the club was not an easy one to make - but looked to the likes of Salah and Lukaku for inspiration, the pair having thrived since quitting Chelsea earlier in their careers.
