AS Roma agrees £34million Deal To sign chelsea forward tammy abraham
Ahead of the forthcoming football season, Italian giants AS Roma have agreed to sign embattled Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham for £34million, according to reports.
The 23-year-old has fallen out of favour under manager Thomas Tuchel and Sky Sports are reporting that Chelsea prefer to sell him to a foreign club. English rivals Arsenal are also said to be in the race, but with Roma agreeing a deal, Abraham will now decide if he wants to move to the Serie A club.
It was also gathered that Serie A side Atalanta are also interested in the Chelsea player, making a move to their London rivals less likely. Since Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard at Chelsea, Abraham has not been able to cement his place in the Blues’ starting line-up.
With Romelu Lukaku closing in on a deal from Inter Milan, Abraham stand a lesser chance of breaking into the Chelsea starting XI and now he could be on his way out.
Despite his limited game-time during the second half of last season, Abraham ended the campaign as Chelsea’s joint-top scorer with 12 goals. He has featured in each of Chelsea’s three pre-season friendlies and could be involved as they take on Villarreal in the Super Cup final on Wednesday.
