Tammy Abraham rises to a 'monster' challenge from Roma manager Jose Mourinho as he prepares for a potential England appearance against lowly San Marino on Monday

Tammy Abraham is one of the nice guys. Engaging, smiling, charming. Too nice, if you ask Jose Mourinho.

This is a manager who told his Tottenham team he wanted them to play like a 'bunch of c***s' so it is no surprise to hear what the Roma boss has told his England striker: 'Stop being nice, be a monster.'

Abraham, who completed his £35million move to Roma from Chelsea in the summer, came off the bench in England's win over Albania and could lead the line against San Marino on Monday when World Cup qualification is expected to be secured.
