It may not be such a common career decision for young English players, but Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham should point the way to many of their compatriots who are struggling for game time in the Premier League.And it may come as a pleasant surprise for Roma fans to learn that it was Milan’s defender Tomori who convinced his former Chelsea teammate Abraham to jump on the opportunity to move to the Italian capital.Sunday, 23.55: (1.38) Canada (4.60) Jamaica (9.00)Abraham was unsure whether to accept Jose Mourinho’s call and become a part of his project at Stadio Olimpico, but the defender quickly dispelled his doubts.7″When Tammy said Roma’s offer was on the table, I told him this was a good league. I felt like it would develop his game a lot. He has scored a lot of goals this season for Roma. They’re fighting for a Champions League spot. It’s helped him, and definitely, I gave him rave reviews about Serie A because I enjoyed myself so much the first six months.”🗣 Tomori: on Abraham “When he said Roma was on the table, I said: ‘Bro this is a good league’. I felt like it would develop his game a lot….Definitely it’s helped him and definitely I gave him rave reviews about Serie A because I enjoyed myself so much the first six months.” pic.twitter.com/8oo1EmNTGb— Italian Football News 🇮🇹 (@footitalia1) March 26, 2022 Milan are currently top of the Serie A table, Tomori is playing regularly, but he hasn’t made the last England squad. He has just two caps to his name but is hoping to add a few more. He acknowledges that there are a lot of big names ahead of him, but hopes to make the cut for the 2022 World Cup after missing out on a place in the Euro 2020 squad.”There’s just so many talented players in my position already – Harry Maguire, John Stones, Conor Coady, Tyrone Mings, Ben White – and there’s a limited amount of positions. I just have to make sure I’m playing at a high level. And then when I do get called on, to make sure I’m ready. I have to focus on what I’m doing here at Milan first and foremost.”
