Tammy Abraham responds to Portugal trying to poach his "uncle" Jose Mourinho from Roma

Tammy Abraham has issued a plea to "uncle" Jose Mourinho in the hope that he'll snub Portugal 's offer to become their new manager.

The Roma star, 25, is desperate for his boss to stay in the Italian capital, with recent reports claiming that Mourinho's native Portugal have already offered him the job after sacking Fernando Santos following their humiliation World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Morocco. Brazil are also said to be interested in the Special One's services and Abraham isn't surprised.

"He is a great coach and of course, everyone wants him," the England international told Gazzetta dello Sport. "It's an honour that an important country like Portugal chases him. I am sure the coach is focused on Roma. We've read many things, but we didn’t talk about them and Mourinho has always tried to make us improve, we are focused on the season."
