JAKARTA - Tammy Abraham was once again a hero of AS Roma when his goal in the 90th minute brought the Giallorossi to the quarter-finals of the Conference League in midweek.

Abraham left his boyhood club Chelsea for the Italian capital last summer for a reported £35m. Since then, the English striker has quickly established himself as a star in Serie A, earning the nickname 'The Gladiator'.

With the crowd at the Stadio Olimpico chanting his name, Abraham is truly in love with his new life in Italy as Rome's ultimate talisman.

Both Abraham and his girlfriend Leah Monroe have now gotten used to the Italian lifestyle and are enjoying it. Not long ago, they toured the Colosseum - one of the most famous places in Rome from the Roman era.

Abraham and Monroe are also often seen eating out of town and they sat down next to some Roma fans one evening after AS Roma's Coppa Italia exit. Abraham politely expressed his disappointment at the loss.

The striker also frequently posts photos of the city on his Instagram stories, one of which shows a panoramic video of Rome which is captioned: "What a city!"

Abraham is part of a new wave of English talent looking to expand their horizons beyond the Premier League. Previously there was Jadon Sancho, after being disappointed with his playing time at Manchester City, moving to Borussia Dortmund, where he joined Jude Bellingham.

Meanwhile, Kieran Tripper spent time at Atletico Madrid before returning to the top flight of English football with Newcastle United.

And Abraham isn't the only Englishman in Rome, Chris Smalling and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are also in the Eternal City.
