Roma chief Tiago Pinto is flying to London to close a deal for Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

Jose Mourinho wants to bring the striker to Roma and, reports The Athletic, Pinto is heading to London in an attempt to finalise a deal.

But the 23-year-old is yet to be convinced over a move to Italy and his preference is to join Arsenal.

Roma do not want to wait for long over a decision and are ready to switch to an alternative target if Abraham fails to agree a move by the end of this week.

Abraham is in Chelsea's squad for their Super Cup match against Villarreal.
