Tammy Abraham

Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham (born 2 October 1997), known as Tammy Abraham, is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club AC Milan, on loan from AS Roma.

A further loan spell at Swansea City followed for Abraham, but the season ended with the club suffering relegation from the Premier League.

Abraham would return to Chelsea in 2019, recording 18 goals during their 2019–20 campaign, before lifting the UEFA Champions League in his following final season at the club.

After joining Italian side Roma for a €40 million fee in 2021, he scored 17 goals in his debut Serie A season, a record high for an Englishman, and also won the inaugural edition of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

[5] He carried his form into the FA Youth Cup and netted the winning goal in Chelsea's victory over Manchester City in the final in April.

[7] His form at youth level caught the attention of interim manager Guus Hiddink who invited him to train with the first team at the back end of the 2015–16 season.

[8] On 11 May 2016, Hiddink handed Abraham his Chelsea debut in a 1–1 Premier League draw with Liverpool, bringing him on to replace Bertrand Traoré in the 74th minute.

[9] Abraham then made his home debut at Stamford Bridge the following week, once again coming on as a second-half substitute for Traoré in a 1–1 draw with newly crowned Premier League Champions Leicester City.

[11] He started in his second game and scored the only goal of the match in a 1–0 win over Wycombe Wanderers, helping Bristol City advance to the Second Round of the EFL Cup.

[12] The following week, on 13 August, he scored his first professional brace in a 2–1 victory over newly promoted Burton Albion, including the last-minute winner.

[17] Abraham ended the season with 23 goals to his name, second only to Chris Wood of Leeds United, as City completed the campaign in 17th position, thereby avoiding relegation.

[25] On 6 February 2018, having gone 825 minutes without a goal, Abraham returned to the scoresheet when he netted twice and assisted a further two in an 8–1 FA Cup Fourth Round replay win over Notts County.

His strong form sparked speculation that he would be recalled by Chelsea, who retained the option until 14 January 2019, given the club's own goal scoring troubles.

[37][38] It later became apparent that Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers had also made an approach for his signature, although FIFA's rules prohibiting a player from representing three clubs in a season cast doubt over any potential move.

[39] Following a week of media speculation surrounding his future, he reportedly rejected a loan move to Wolves in favour of staying with Villa for the remainder of the season.

[46] He was later named in the PFA Team of the Year before helping Aston Villa secure promotion to the Premier League, scoring once in the play-off semi-final against West Brom.

9 shirt, previously worn by the likes of Roy Bentley, Peter Osgood, Kerry Dixon, Steve Sidwell, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Gianluca Vialli and Fernando Torres.

[56] In doing so, at the age of 21 years and 347 days, he became the youngest player to score three goals in a match for the club in the Premier League era.

[73] On 8 January 2023, in the league match against Milan, Abraham scored in extra time, earning Roma a 2–2 draw against the Serie A champions.

[75] On 31 May, Abraham featured in the Europa League final, which Roma lost against Sevilla 4–1 on penalties after a 1–1 draw; hence, he missed the opportunity to win all existing UEFA competitions.

[84] Prior to receiving his first competitive cap for the England senior team in October 2019, Abraham was eligible to represent Nigeria through his paternal lineage and was sounded out by the Nigerian Football Association.

[88] Later that year, while representing the U19 team in a friendly against Japan, Abraham and teammate Patrick Roberts played a game of rock paper scissors on the pitch to decide who would take a penalty.

He made his first appearance for the team on 6 October, coming on as a substitute with eight minutes remaining against Kazakhstan in a qualifier for the U21 European Championships to help England to a 1–0 victory which secured the nation's progression to the tournament proper.

[94] On 18 May 2018, having been omitted from England's squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Abraham was recalled to the under-20 side for the Toulon Tournament in France where they had been drawn in a group alongside Qatar, China and Mexico.

[97] He did not feature in the subsequent match against Mexico but returned to score in a 4–0 win over Qatar which saw England qualify for the semi-finals where they were drawn against Scotland.
