'I felt like it would develop his game a lot': Fikayo Tomori reveals he convinced Tammy Abraham to join him in Italy and sign for Roma last summer... insisting he knew his former Chelsea team-mate's style would be well-suited to Serie A football

Fikayo Tomori has revealed he convinced former Chelsea team-mate Tammy Abraham to head to Italy and sign for Roma last summer.

Abraham, 24, sealed a £34million switch to Roma back in August after falling out of favour under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.

The England striker has enjoyed a superb debut campaign at the Stadio Olimpico, scoring 23 goals in 40 appearances so far for Jose Mourinho's side.

And Tomori, who also swapped west London for Italy in January of last year, has explained how he urged Abraham to join him in Serie A.
