Tammy Abraham reveals how Mourinho convinced him to leave Chelsea

AS Roma striker and England international Tammy Abraham, in a recent statement, has revealed how former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho convinced him to leave Stamford Bridge.

Abraham, who is currently blazing hot in the Italian Seria with Roma, revealed that Mourinho advised him not to take the “easy option” by remaining at Stamford Bridge.

Abraham made this known at St George’s Park on Thursday, where he is training alongside other English players after being recalled to England’s squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Hungary.

“I think the first thing he [Mourinho] said to me, I picked up the phone and he was like: ‘Do you want to enjoy some sun or do you want to stay in the rain?’’

“I laughed, and I think at first I didn’t really think much of it when he was speaking because my mindset was that I wanted to be in the Premier League.”

“When Mourinho speaks, you listen. I’ve learned so much tactically than I have in my lifetime. You need to learn off different managers,” Abraham said.

So far this season, Abraham already has four goals his name in his first ten appearances for Roma.
