ABRAHAM’S PREMIER LEAGUE RECORDS

Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has revealed that he turned down an approach from Arsenal before moving to Roma in 2021

After being sent out on loans to Bristol City, Swansea City, and Aston Villa.

Between 2019 and 2021 Tammy Abraham did get more football for Chelsea.

But it became clear that Abraham’s time would be significantly reduced after Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard at the helm.

Tammy Abraham had a brilliant first season at Roma with 27 goals in 53 appearances

As the Italian side won the Europa Conference League.

But the 25-year-old insists it could’ve been different with Arsenal also very interested in his services

TAMMY’S INTERVIEW

Tammy told Rete Sports,

“It was time to leave Chelsea, and I was talking to different clubs in England and Europe.

“My attention was drawn to a certain London club.

I didn’t have to move anywhere, I knew the area well. It was Arsenal.

My father is a huge Arsenal fan so he was very enthusiastic, and everything was fine. Then José called me.

“I usually never answer numbers I haven’t saved in my contacts.

But he said, ‘Hi Tammy, it’s José’. And I was like, ‘Wow, what a surprise!’. He asked me how the family was.

I knew him well because he had known me as a child at Chelsea.

He asked me: ‘Are you ready to leave the bad weather and come to sunny Rome?’

“I wouldn’t say there are any loose ends in England.

Maybe I’ll stay at Roma for the next ten years, or maybe not. You never know what’s around the corner.”
