Young Chelsea and England’s striker Tammy Abraham has earlier today completed a 40m euros ($47 million) deal that would see him don the jersey of the Italian capital side, the deal was announced on Monday, August 16th, as he joins former Chelsea and Man United manager Jose Mourinho in Rome. 
In a statement, Roma said that Abraham had signed a five-year contract and that Chelsea would “retain the right to a percentage of any future transfer fee involving the striker”.

“You can sense when a club really wants you –- and Roma made their interest clear immediately,” said Abraham to the Rome website.
“Roma is a club that deserves to be fighting for titles and trophies. I’ve had the experience of winning major trophies and I want to be in those competitions again –- so I want to help this team to achieve that and get to the level where Roma should be.”
Abraham moves to Roma after Romelu Lukaku’s return to Chelsea left him further down the pecking order at the club he joined as a young boy in 2004.
The European champions spent big money to lure Belgium striker Lukaku away from Inter as Thomas Tuchel largely ignored Abraham, who was brought into the senior team by previous coach Frank Lampard.
