Tammy Abraham had a direct hand in AC Milan’s comeback against Como on Sunday, and he hopes it will begin a period that sees him earn a stay.
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) reports this morning, Abraham’s impact against both Lecce and Como was decisive in allowing Milan to turn the games around and take home six precious points, to boost morale and help trim the gap to fourth (now at six points).
In the game at the Stadio Via del Mare, he came on when the score was 2-0 for the home team. While he did not score, the former Chelsea man seemed to be more of a handful than an time times isolated Santiago Gimenez.
During Sunday’s match at San Siro, he came on when the score was 1-1 and then provided the assist for Tijjani Reijnders winning goal. It was an assist we have seen before from him too, playing with his back to goal and finding the runner in behind.
What will happen regarding Abraham’s future? The numbers this season are on his side, because in 37 games overall in all competitions – a total of 1,459 minutes – the 27-year-old has scored eight goals and provided five assists (a goal involvement every 112 minutes).
Not only that, but his attitude (barring the penalty incident versus Fiorentina) has been exemplary. He started the season behind Alvaro Morata in the pecking order, then Gimenez was signed when the Spaniard left, but the Englishman kept working hard to show his value.
Speaking after the Como win, he told DAZN: “This is what I do! Every time I come on the pitch, I want to help the team as much as possible, with goals, assists, defending, I’m a team player. He’s one of my best friends in the team, so I’m happy.”
Roma are asking for at least €20-25m to let him go and it will also be necessary to discuss the situation regarding Alexis Saelemaekers with the Giallorossi, who has done well on loan there. It will be talked about soon, probably after appointing a new sporting director.
25 million is unrealistic price for player on huge wage plus last year of season.
If Milancant value Hernandez on 50+ million in last year of contract, Abraham can be valued maximum like Morata. 13+mil.
This man I see have all the attribute to become like Drogba.
If we can use 2 strikers, I think Abraham would be more effective and ‘deadly’.
He have speed, tall, and can give good passing too.
But, as I rememberred, last time we use 2 strikers is Mihajlovic’s era. After that we just only use 1 striker.
Well, using 1 attacker, or even false nine, for me, is reducing the beauty of the strikers role.
He helped the team a lot. But still, a striker’s job is to score goals. So he’s not good enough in his position right now.
Just like how annoyed I am with Musah. Not because he can’t put the ball in an empty net. That’s not his job, anyway. But more because of his defensive mindset that resulted in Bondo getting a yellow card. Players like Musah and Fofana need to start thinking about helping the team according to their roles.
This is one of the things that makes it difficult for Milan’s strikers to score goals. There is no service, because almost the entire team is hoping to score with all their “brutal and mindless attempts at goal”…
He is not good enough.
He is better than Gimenez…..at least as of now
15M + performance bonuses and if he wants to stay it will be enough. But I have read Aston Villa want him as a first striker so maybe he isn’t interested in being 2nd at Milan.
