Tammy Abraham, a striker for Roma, revealed that Reece James, a friend, always encourages him to go with Chelsea.
Tammy Abraham, who really came up via the Chelsea academy, has previously played on a regular basis for the first team at Stamford Bridge. But a couple of years ago, he did move from West London to Rome.
The 25-year-old forward has enjoyed a respectable run with Italian club Roma, scoring 36 goals in 102 games over two seasons.
Will the Englishman, nevertheless, ever play again in the Premier League?
Abraham claimed that James, one of his former colleagues, constantly encourages him to secure a return to the Blues in an interview with Tuttomercatoweb.
James always urges me to come back, I still chat to so many Chelsea players,” Abraham remarked.
It’s no secret that Chelsea needs to bring in a center-forward during the summer transfer window. In transfer rumours, Abraham’s name has also been brought up.
Abraham is a player that is “being mentioned” at Chelsea as a possible transfer target, according to a report by journalist Simon Phillips on his Substack earlier this month.
In the meantime, Serie A club Roma may be willing to trade Abraham for close to £40 million, according to a recent Calciomercato report.
Abraham’s name being mentioned as a potential solution for the No. 9 spot doesn’t bother us. However, we should look for better alternatives first.
The Roma forward would likely end the season with more goals than any other player on the current Chelsea roster.
The Chelsea fans would love to see the solid core of academy players who are currently a part of the first-team group remain. We’ll have to wait and see if James achieves his wish to reconnect with Abraham.
