Roma striker Tammy Abraham has no regrets leaving Chelsea.

Abraham is coming up to two years since his decision to leave his boyhood club.

He told SMW: Shortly before leaving Chelsea, (Fikayo) Tomori went to Milan and we talked a lot. I remember the phone calls, none of us could believe what was happening. We had been with Chelsea our whole lives and in a moment we were walking away.

"Everything I knew was about Chelsea apart from a few loan moves, but I still think now was the right time to leave.

"I was ready to take a step forward in my career. I didn't want to be considered a youngster or a footballer who had just come from the Academy, it was time for me to spread my wings."
