The current Head Coach of AS Roma is reportedly considering turning to Kelechi Iheanacho if Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham rejects move to the Serie A club.

Roma want Abraham, who has struggled to earn regular playing berth under Thomas Tuchel to replace Inter Milan bound Edin Dzeko.

The Giallorossi’s director of football Tiago Pinto held a meeting with Abraham and his entourage in London on Wednesday.

Pinto presented to the young striker the benefits of coming to the Stadio Olimpico.

Chelsea have already agreed the terms of the transfer at €40m, to be paid in five instalments, but the forward remains tempted by Arsenal.

According to reports, Roma will look to sign Iheanacho from Leicester City if Abraham does not give the all-clear on Friday (today).

The Nigeria international recently penned a contract extension to June 2024 with the Foxes.

Recall he scored 19 goals and provided seven assists in 39 appearances across all competition for Brendan Rodgers’ side last season.
