Signed by AS Roma from Chelsea at the beginning of last season, Tammy had a first season to remember in Italy.
The England international quickly showed why the Blues might have been better off keeping him around, rewarding José Mourinho with goals aplenty, scoring 27 in 53 appearances in all competitions, as well as picking up six assists.
His start of the new campaign has been a bit slower, which isn’t what he will have wanted in what could be a very important year for him.
As well as the World Cup, next summer is when the €80m buy-back clause Chelsea inserted in the initial deal becomes active, paving the way to a rather straightforward Premier League return.
Corriere dello Sport cover it on Thursday, claiming that Abraham’s ‘future will be decided’ at the end of the season, with talk of a return already being discussed on these shores.
What could help him is the arrival of Graham Potter on the Stamford Bridge bench, and the newspaper believe the managerial change ‘could favour the return of Tammy to Stamford Bridge’.
In June, Chelsea ‘will be able to decide whether to exercise the clause’, which would be for a figure just under double what AS Roma paid for him in the first place.
Either way, ‘the player’s opinion will be decisive’, who, despite being happy in Rome, has never ruled out a move back to the Premier League if it presented itself.
