Real coup – Mourinho reacts to AS Roma signing of Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham

 

AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has reacted to the signing of Tammy Abraham from English Premier League giants (EPL) Chelsea.

Mourinho, a former Chelsea manager, described Abraham’s signing as a ‘real coup’.

Abraham was officially unveiled as a Roma player on Tuesday following the departure of Edin Dzeko to Inter Milan.

Reacting, Mourinho told Roma TV, “I have to say the general manager and owners have been brilliant.

“The reality is that we started pre-season thinking we had Dzeko and what happened was a bit of a surprise for all of us.

“In an incredibly difficult market and in a financial situation that is difficult for every, or more precisely, almost every club, having the willingness, the ambition, the respect for the fans’ emotions and reacting in this way after losing Dzeko and bringing in Tammy Abraham was a real coup.”
