Reece James says Tammy Abraham's 'numbers don't lie' as he praises ex-Chelsea team-mate

Reece James has urged football fans to pay some respect to in-form striker Tammy Abraham as he continues to impress in Italy.

The 24-year-old left Chelsea for £34million last summer to join Roma where he has rediscovered his top form and even a step beyond.

The England international has notched 23 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions - proving he can cut it among Europe's best strikers since his arrival in the Serie A under Jose Mourinho.

The Englishman opted to make the move away having previously found himself behind Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge last season.
