Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has aimed a fresh dig at his former manager.The 24 years old striker made 82 appearances for Chelsea scoring 30 goals in the process.
He used to be a regular starter for Chelsea under Frank Lampard and was Chelsea’s top scorer under Frank Lampard.
However, the English international lost his place in the starting lineup when Thomas Tuchel took over.
Chelsea sold Tammy Abraham to Roma for £34 million last summer to make room for their record signing Lukaku.

The move to the Serie A club seems to be the best decision he has ever made, Tammy Abraham has been a revelation since joining Jose Mourinho at Roma.
He is currently in the form of his life, scoring 24 goals across all competitions and beating Gabriel Batistuta’s record of most goals scored in a first season for the Italian club, which he set in 2001.
Abraham believes he is at the right place and Jose Mourinho has helped restore his confidence, something he lacked last season at Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel.
What did he say?
He told BBC: “To do what I’m doing now for a great club like Roma, I can’t really describe the feeling.”
“Coming off the back of a difficult season at Chelsea where I wasn’t really playing games to come here and shine again, it’s like a dream come true.
“I’ve always been a player who never lacks confidence. From a young kid, I’ve always scored goals and wanted to win. Even when I score in training I celebrate like it’s a match.
“It was all about being in the right place to bring out the real me. I’m learning more about myself every day.
“It’s been a good season. It’s not over yet, we have important games to play and my focus is on this game and winning.
“It was all about someone believing in me. The past manager – Frank Lampard – gave me that chance, he showed real faith in me and that’s when I was producing. It’s the same now.
“When you have the belief from the manager it makes you want to do the best you can. It’s just confidence.”
