He has now scored twenty-five goals across allcompetitions in his first season at AS Roma and alsodoubles as the only English attacker across Europe toachieve such a feat in the current season.
Such achievement by the former Chelsea striker hasraised question marks over Thomas Tuchel’s decisionof letting him depart the West London club during thelast summer transfer window.
This decision was birthed out of his longing to haveBelgian international Romelu Lukaku arrive atStamford Bridge from Inter Milan.
The strong Belgium attacker has failed to live up tohis billings banging in just nine goals across allcompetitions.
His inconsistent performances have seen themanager drop him to the bench in favor of GermanInternational Kai Havertz.
Funnily, Havertz who was hitting the numbers at theinitial stage since taking up the striking role ahead ofhis teammate has recently been another object ofmockery, especially in their game against astruggling Manchester United side at Old Trafford, inwhich he squandered so many goal-scoringopportunities.

To further add to Thomas Tuchel’s misery, TammyAbraham scored the only goal needed to see histeam advance to the maiden Europa ConferenceLeague final.
It was a memorable night in the life of the striker aswell as Jose Mourinho who was spotted crying at thesound of the final whistle.
Abraham’s goal tally this season is the combinedgoals of both Romelu Lukaku and Kai Havertz.
Some might say Abraham lacked the strength andphysique for the Premier League but what can onesay about the Italian league which is known to havevery aggressive defenders, throwing in hard tacklesjust to ensure the ball doesn’t get into the back ofthe net.
Thus, I think the only reason Abraham is doing sowell at Roma is that Mourinho rekindled the hungerspirit in him as well as gave him all the confidence heneeded to become a better striker, which signifiesthat Tuchel had failed him as a manager.
