Roma star Tammy Abraham has declared this is “my season” after ending his injury nightmares, while addressing speculation over a transfer exit.

After an impressive debut season at Roma, followed by an underwhelming one, Abraham missed much of last term through an ACL injury. However, the 26-year-old states he is “back”, while seemingly ruling out a summer exit from the Italian giants.

He told reporters: “Since the first day here in Rome I have wanted to demonstrate my passion for football and my desire to help the club. I am a smiling and always positive person. This is my first post-injury preparation, it is my season and I want to show that I am back. The rumours, obviously, are nice, it means you are doing well, but I am here with Roma and I am available to do my best.”

Abraham was a man in demand a couple of seasons ago off the back of scoring 27 goals in all competitions two seasons ago but now he is somewhat starting afresh following a long injury lay-off. Staying at Roma and getting game time may be the best way to reignite his goalscoring instincts and fire his side to success this term.

Abraham’s Roma side return to Serie A action next Sunday evening away to Cagliari. Last season, they finished sixth and if the England international can recapture his form from 2021/22, they could be a force to be reckoned with.
