Tammy Abraham touches down in Rome ahead of £34m move from Chelsea as fans scramble to get first view of marquee summer signing

Tammy Abraham touched down on Italian soil on Sunday morning ahead of completing his big money move to Serie A titans Roma.

The Englishman became the No.1 target in the Eternal City after Roma sanctioned the sale of Edin Dzeko to Inter Milan.

Abraham is just one element of a transfer merry-go-round, after Inter secured the signing of Dzeko to replace Romelu Lukaku - who has sealed a return to Chelsea in a £98million club transfer fee record and pushed Abraham down the pecking order as a result.
