Striker Tammy Abraham has been shining in his first season with the Roma shirt. Last Sunday, with the two goals scored in the victory against Lazio, the Englishman reached 23 goals and surpassed the mark of Gabriel Batistuta and Vincenzo Montella, who had scored 21 goals in the first year at the Italian club.
Abraham was an express request of the coach José Mourinho and cost 40 million euros to the coffers, coming from Chelsea. In a short time, he assumed the spotlight at the club and is regarded as one of the Portuguese commander’s trusted men.
“I know he has the potential to do more. It wasn’t just the goals he scored, but also the way he pressed, fought, pulled back on the ground and helped the defence, something he hadn’t done once against Vitesse. because I know what he can do,” said Mourinho after the victory over Lazio.
Now Abraham has at least ten more games left – eight for the Italian Championship and two for the Conference League, against Bodo/Glimt, of Norway – to become the record holder of goals for Roma in the first season. Currently, the brand belongs to Rodolfo Volk, who scored 24 goals in his first year at the club.
