Jose Mourinho eager to keep Tammy Abraham at Roma amid English interest – report

Romaboss Jose Mourinho appears determined to fend off reported Premier League interest in star striker Tammy Abraham.

TheEnglandinternational is said to be a target forArsenalandManchester Unitedthis summer.

Abraham signed a five-year deal at the Stadio Olimpico last August, joining the Giallorossi fromChelseafor £34 million.

And 2022-23 proved to be the 24-year-old’s best-ever season as he scored a career-high 27 goals in 53 games across all competitions.

His form saw him recalled to the England squad – where he’ll be hoping to cement his place ahead of this winter’s World Cup in Qatar.

Interest from Arsenal and United would not come as a surprise – both are in need of a centre-forward – but, according toCorriere dello Sport (via Football Italia), Abraham is not for sale in Mourinho’s eyes.

A move to Old Trafford wouldn’t make much sense as far as Abraham’s World Cup chances are concerned anyway; he’d be competing with Cristiano Ronaldo for a spot up front.

Arsenal, meanwhile, appear to still be chasingManchester City’s Gabriel Jesus – while Eddie Nketiah has just put pen to paper on a new five-year contract with the Gunners.

“I love this club. They’ve given me the opportunity to show myself, my heart is here. We’ll see what the future holds, but my heart is here.”
