Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has admitted that he hesitated over a move to AS Roma but has since fallen in love with life in Italy. The Blues academy graduate exited Stamford Bridge in the summer in a £40m move.
He had fallen down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel and his desire for first team football became more demanding with the club record arrival of Romelu Lukaku. The 24-year-old has since gone on to prove a huge success under Jose Mourinho and his form has seen him included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the upcoming matches against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.
Abraham has scored 23 goals in his first season at the Stadio Olimpico - surpassing the record set by Serie A legends Gabriel Batistuta and Vincenzo Montella. His stunning form for Roma might not have materialised in the first place though, with the striker recently admitting that he originally held reservations over a move away from his boyhood club.
