Tammy Abraham has completed a permanent transfer to AS Roma, departing Chelsea, both clubs have confirmed.
The Serie A club completed the signing of the 23-year-old, fending off competition from Atalanta, West Ham and Arsenal.
Abraham leaves Chelsea, the club where he has been at since Under-8’s level.
The move sees the striker join up with former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho in Rome ahead of the new Serie A season.
Abraham, meanwhile, has put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract with the club that runs until 30 June 2026.
He will wear the No. 9 shirt.
“You can sense when a club really wants you – and Roma made their interest clear immediately,” said Abraham.
“Roma is a club that deserves to be fighting for titles and trophies. I’ve had the experience of winning major trophies and I want to be in those competitions again – so I want to help this team to achieve that and get to the level where Roma should be.
“It’s a massive honour to be the No. 9 at this club and I just can’t wait to get started and to help the team.”
He made his England debut in 2017, scoring his first goal for his country two years later in a match against Montenegro.
