Mourinho has turned me into a monster, Abraham says

Roma striker Tammy Abraham believes Jose Mourinho has turned him into a “monster” and a more aggressive player.

Abraham left Chelsea to move to the Italian capital in the summer and has hit five goals so far this season.

Although a dip in form for Roma has coincided with a barren spell for Abraham, with just one goal in his last eight games.

Asked what Mourinho had taught him at the Stadio Olimpico so far, Abraham told SkySports: “Just be a monster really!

“I think one of the things he said was I was too much of a nice player and that you have to show that aggressiveness as you’re getting older as a striker.

“It’s always tough, moving and going to experience a different country and different culture.

“I felt the sooner I settled in the better, and started learning different types of football and different styles. I’ve gone to spread my wings and hopefully I can keep up the level of performances I need to stay in the team.”

Roma are currently sixth in the Serie A and face Andriy Shevchenko’s Genoa on November 21.
