CM: Abraham’s mission to convince Milan takes a positive turn – the situation | OneFootball

Tammy Abraham was one of the key contributors as AC Milan overcame Sassuolo 6-1 in the Coppa Italia at San Siro, and it sent positive signals regarding his future.

Calciomercato.com write how Milan fans might be starting to enjoy the Paulo Fonseca era. After a first part of the season where every game was a rollercoaster things have begun to turn, even if wins against Empoli and Sassuolo – with respect to them – do not move the needle a large amount.

Against the Neroverdi, Samuel Chukwueze and co. had fun on the field, scoring a whopping six goals. Above all they booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia with the clear goal of going all the way.

The former of Tijjani Reijnders is no longer news as his goals are becoming a pleasant habit for the Rossoneri fan, nor are Youssouf Fofana’s performances as he continues direct the midfield with quality and intelligence.

Thus, it is right to underline the physical and mental growth shown by Abraham in the last two weeks. He scored a goal against Cagliari in the league, the winner against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League and he got a goal plus an assist last night.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had often stressed that the decisions on the market were made by the management almost autonomously. However, the Englishman was expressly wanted by Fonseca because he is a striker who he sees as offering very useful skills.

He is good in the build-up phase (as the combinations with Rafael Leao and assist for Chukwueze’s second goal show), his movement is smart and he will not shy away from a duel. These are strengths that are aligned with Fonseca’s tactical ideas.

The role of being deputy to Alvaro Morata is exhilarating him rather than subduing him. The former Chelsea striker knows that to earn a permanent stay at Milan – something he strongly wants – two things will be needed.

Firstly, he must always be ready to give everything when call upon, in addition to scoring a few more useful goals, and secondly is that he will have to take a pay cut from his current €4.5m net salary. The first seems to be going well, and on the second there will be time for a discussion.
