During Mourinho&#8217;s second stint at Stamford Bridge, Abraham was seen as a very promising academy prospect. Despite this, Abraham did not make his senior side debut till after the Portuguese manager was sacked by the club.<\/p>\n<p>Given Chelsea&#8217;s preference to sell Abraham to a foreign side, this may actually be a perfect scenario for the 23-year-old. With Roma looking to return to the top table in Serie A, Abraham would present a major boost to the club&#8217;s fortunes. He would also become an immediate star for the yellow and reds, giving him the playing time he both deserves and desires.<\/p>\n<h3>A Fall From Grace at Chelsea<\/h3>\n<p>Entering last season, Tammy Abraham was seen as one of Chelsea&#8217;s biggest assets. However, by the season&#8217;s end, Abraham had become a surplus option at Stamford Bridge. What caused this massive shift? In simple terms, it was the mid-season arrival of manager Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n<p>A star player under previous manager Frank Lampard, Abraham quickly fell out of favor with Tuchel. Pushed down the pecking order at Chelsea, he was left out of the Blues&#8217; Champions League final squad last season despite full fitness. However, in spite of his limited game time under Tuchel, the 23-year-old forward still finished as Chelsea&#8217;s joint top scorer with 12 goals.<\/p>\n<p>This did, however, represent a significant reduction from the striker&#8217;s previous campaign. Joining the Chelsea first team full-time after a previous season loan to then Championship side <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/08\/five-managers-with-a-lot-to-prove-this-season-in-the-premier-league\/\" target=\"_self\">Aston Villa<\/a>, Abraham finished with 18 goals to his name in 2019\/20.<\/p>\n<p>Now potentially moving both club and country, Tammy Abraham has a chance to rekindle his once dominant form. At Roma, he can become a world star. Joining forces with Jose Mourinho, Abraham can take a similar path to soon-to-be Chelsea forward <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/07\/chelsea-romelu-lukaku\/\" target=\"_self\">Romelu Lukaku<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing left at this stage is for Roma and Abraham to reach personal terms. Once that is complete, a chance for the England international to reignite his career will likely come.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"pLrC4MIfQwBpCmOfXAMLnA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1234484743\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'pLrC4MIfQwBpCmOfXAMLnA',sig:'h3p_0YHwcPchDGL9OqP7pH_hGD6IsUB0dZaItINngbY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1234484743',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tammy Abraham saga at Chelsea appears to be close to an end.
