Abraham: Roma players aware Portugal targeting Mourinho

Roma striker Tammy Abraham says the players are aware coach Jose Mourinho is interesting Portugal and Brazil.

Abraham admits the hopes the Special One chooses to stay.

He said, “He is a great coach and of course, everyone wants him.

“It's an honour that an important country like Portugal chases him. I am sure the coach is focused on Roma. We've read many things, but we didn't talk about them and Mourinho has always tried to make us improve, we are focused on the season.

“I already said it in the past, to me, having him [Mourinho] here is like having an uncle," added the England striker. “That's how I've always seen the coach. He is a reference point and he wants the best from me, so he motivates me in every way.

“He tells me when I don't play well and even when I do so, he is not satisfied. That's what I need. A coach who always guides me."
