Roma coach Mourinho: Abraham deal a real coup

Roma coach Jose Mourinho has welcomed new signing Tammy Abraham.

Abraham arrives from Chelsea in a deal worth €40m.

“I have to say the general manager and owners have been brilliant," said Mourinho on Roma TV.

“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."
