Roma coach Jose Mourinho has received a boost in his pursuit of Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

Sky Italia says a loan move to Roma is close for the unwanted Chelsea striker.

It's claimed a €5million loan with an option to buy has been offered and talks are continuing.

It's understood Arsenal too are keen, but that Chelsea don't want to sell to a Premier League rival.

For his part, Abraham favours a move to the Gunners.
