What Tammy Abraham has done to prove Thomas Tuchel wrong with Romelu Lukaku Chelsea blunder

Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has broken a European record with Roma in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final against Premier League regulars Leicester City.

Abraham, 24, just like Romelu Lukaku did, made his name in such a short time in Italy with his rampant form for Jose Mourinho's side. At the time, the Blues felt their decision to part with the England international was the right one as Thomas Tuchel required a different profile of striker in his attack to suit his tactical needs. That's exactly why a club record £97.5million was spent to bring the Belgian back to Stamford Bridge for what was expected to be a fruitful homecoming for Lukaku.

However, that hasn't happened at all and his recent snub against Everton is a sign that after just one season, the 28-year-old could be heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door for the second time, whilst Abraham will almost certainly remain in Rome if Mourinho gets his way. It has been reported that Arsenal are looking at the possibility of pouncing on Chelsea's mistake this summer but the man in question reportedly has 'no intention' of coming back to England anytime soon.
