JAKARTA - Tammy Abraham performed brilliantly with AS Roma in the Italian Serie A. Since signing from Chelsea, the two have played 49 times in all competitions and scored 24 goals.

This good performance has made Tammy Abraham the target of big European clubs, one of which is Arsenal. In fact, last month, the Daily Star reported that Arsenal was willing to pay 50 million pounds to bring the English player if they managed to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Interestingly, AS Roma coach, Jose Mourinho, will not hinder the player if he wants to return to the English Premier League. Instead, he opened the door for Tammy Abraham.

"I think in the present moment if he wants to go back to England, which I don't think he will, but also he wants to go back to England, he just needs to snap his fingers and I'd be happy for him", Mourinho said.

Many factors make Mourinho sure Tammy will stay next season. One of them is the love of the club and the fans.

"He returned to the national team and was loved at Roma. I'm not saying everyone was proven wrong because I think everyone knows he's a good player."

"Tammy and several other players showed the English players that there is life outside the Premier League. In Italy, there is a life that makes them better players", said the man from Portugal.
