Tammy Abraham finally reveals how Tuchel forced him to leave Chelsea
Chelsea former striker Tammy Abraham has made an impressive start to life at Roma since his £34million move, grabbing two assists in a 3-1 win over Fiorentina on his Serie A debut.
Abraham has admitted he was frustrated over his lack of game at Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel.
“In the last year at Chelsea, I played less than I hoped for. It was important to talk to Mourinho,” Abraham told a press conference on Friday.
“I talked to Mourinho and Tiago Pinto explained the club’s ambition to me.
“But I want to say that I’m not only here for Jose, his presence was important but I have always followed Roma. I had the privilege of sharing the dressing room at Chelsea with Emerson and Rudiger. Tony spoke very well about Roma.
“I must say that since I arrived, the fans have been extraordinary, as have my teammates and this made me feel at home.”
