Abraham could happily play for another London club apart from Chelsea.
AS Roma attacker Tammy Abraham has revealed why he turned down a move to Emirates. He told that he turned down the offer because of Jose Mourinho’s call.
Abraham has been the subject of interest from Arsenal for a long time and they wanted to add him to their squad when he left Chelsea.
Abraham opted to move to AS Roma instead, where he is working with Mourinho.
Mikel Arteta reportedly remains interested in his signature as he struggles for goals in the Italian top flight and Abraham could happily play for another London club apart from Chelsea.
He says via Tutto AS Roma:
“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, everything was fine. Then José called me,”
Abraham is a fine attacker, but he has been underwhelming in Serie A and would not make our current team.
