Tammy Abraham has fuelled further transfer speculation linking him with a return to the Premier League by telling FourFourTwo ‘never say never’ when discussing a potential homecoming. 

In the feature interview with the English magazine, Abraham discussed the rumours that say he will be back in his native country by the start of next season and also talked about life under Jose Mourinho, whom he described as ‘one of the best in the world’.

In recent weeks, the 25-year-old striker has been tipped to return to one of his former clubs, either to Chelsea, where he spent 17 years between the club’s academy and first team, or to Aston Villa, where he enjoyed a fruitful season in the Championship in 2018-19. 

Manchester United are also said to be in the mix to take Abraham back to England in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Speaking about a potential return to England, Abraham told FourFourTwo: “In football, never say never.” 

He continued: “Right now, my goal and my attention is on Roma: we want to finish the season well. I haven’t even started thinking about anything other than just being here and doing my best.

“I wouldn’t say there are any loose ends in England, I’m in no rush. Maybe I’ll stay at Roma for the next ten years, or maybe not. You never know what’s around the corner.”

Abraham enjoyed an emphatic first season at the Stadio Olimpico, netting 17 goals from 37 Serie A outings, although he has only managed six from 27 for the Giallorossi this term. 

Despite his lack of goalscoring form, Abraham was still full of praise for Mourinho, who brought him to Rome for a €40m fee in the summer of 2021. 

“Jose is a legend,” he said. “I love him. He is what we call a real boss. He is a leader. When he speaks, you listen. He knows how to handle his players, he is one of the best in the world at it. 

“He knows how to motivate you, how to really get under your skin. Even if you’re doing a good job, he’ll still try to get you to do more. He is never satisfied, he always wants more.”
