Jose called me and said: ''Do you want to enjoy some sun or stay in the rain?''

This morning we read about Fikayo Tomori's resurrection after leaving Chelsea, but he's not alone in this pursuit of happiness far away from Stamford Bridge.

His path - to Italy - was followed by Tammy Abraham, who said "arrivederci' to Thomas Tuchel and joined AS Roma on a permanent deal.

Tomori finds his luck with Rossoneri after a disappointing spell at Stamford Bridge

Thanks to a single phone call, the 24-year-old decided to try his luck with the Serie A side. But the guy on the other side of the line was very, very convincing ...

''I had different options. So many clubs I was speaking to at the time. Italy came, and I spoke to Jose. He had a goal.

"I could see where he wanted Roma to go and see where he wants to take them, and I wanted to be part of the process. He really put his trust in me, so he was a big impact on the reason why I chose Roma.

"The first thing he said to me was when I picked up the phone, he was like 'do you want to enjoy some sun or stay in the rain?' I laughed," he said with a smile.

"I have learned so much tactically - as much as I have in my entire lifetime. It is good. You need to learn off different managers. Right now, I am learning a lot."

"I think the easy option would've been to stick around and sit down," Abraham said and added:

"I realised that I needed to go out and prove myself. I needed to play some games. I took a decision, and it was the right one, '' concluded Abraham, who scored four goals in the openning ten games for Roma.
