It’s a new dawn for Nigerian-British footballer Tammy Abraham as he is moving from Chelsea to Roma.
The young player who has largely given a good account of himself as a scorer is joining acclaimed coach Jose Mourinho in the Italian capital in a deal worth 40 million euros ($47 million).
Roma noted in a statement 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”.
AFP also noted that Italian media report that the 23-year-old, who will wear the number nine jersey left vacant by Edin Dzeko’s transfer to Inter Milan, will earn 4.5 million euros net each season.
“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.”
