The gangling striker scored his 20th goal of the season at the weekend to drive Jose Mourinho’s side home with a win.
Nigeria born English striker Tammy Abraham was the best player on the pitch for the Italian press in Roma’s 1-0 win over Atalanta yesterday, proving his value and quality.
The Giallorossi picked up an important victory over the weekend at the Stadio Olimpico, with the three points vital in their work to achieve European qualification this season.
The English striker was the difference-maker, scoring his 20th goal of the season to drive Jose Mourinho’s side home with a win. The two teams are now tied on 47 points following the result.
Abraham was considered by the Italian press to be the best performer in the 1-0 win, with Corriere della Sera noting that “he played an outstanding game, always helping out defensively.”
La Gazzetta dello Sport agreed with this assessment, pointing out that “all now doubts about him have evaporated now. A 20-goal-a-season striker is a lot.”
Corriere dello Sport also lauded Abraham’s performance, highlighting that “he transmits the sensation of being a champion, not only for the 20th goal of the season but for his ability to support the weight of the attack.”
The 24-year-old English striker, who is contracted to Roma until 2026, has scored 20 goals in 36 appearances this season under Mourinho, justifying his €40m price tag.
