Gazza was adored at Lazio, Juventus fans still revere John Charles as 'the gentle giant', while Platt, Francis and Souness all shone at Sampdoria... so, will Tammy Abraham tear up Serie A at Roma like these fellow Brits did?

Tammy Abraham will become the latest in a long line of British footballers to play in the Italian top division after he completed his £34million transfer from Chelsea to Roma.

The 23-year-old striker will play under former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at the Stadio Olimpico, with the former Chelsea boss describing the signing as 'a real coup', while Abraham has already spoken about firing his new team to success and silverware.

Abraham will play in Roma's No 9 shirt during the forthcoming Serie A campaign and he will be desperate to emulate the achievements of some of the celebrated Brits living la dolce vita on our list here.
