England international Tammy Abraham has head out the exit door at Stamford Bridge to make the move to AS Roma which brings the curtains down on a much drawn-out transfer saga this summer.
The striker had been backed to call it quits at the Bridge in the ongoing transfer window and the recent arrival of Romelu Lukaku was set to hasten his departure from the Chelsea ranks.

Chelsea have confirmed through a statement on their official website that Abraham has left the club to sign for his suitors AS Roma who had recently joined in on the race for the player’s signature.
Abraham leaves the Blues after a long association with the club with whom he enjoyed his youth career before moving up the ranks and securing a first-team berth.

Romelu Lukaku’s big-money return to west London had spelt out Abraham’s imminent exit with the player heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea ahead of the transfer window’s deadline later this month.
