"Abraham, 23, joins the club from Premier League side Chelsea - with whom he won the Champions League earlier this year - for a fee of 40 million euros," Roma announced in a statement.

"The overall transfer agreement also includes a number of performance-related clauses, based on the achievements of both the player and the club. Chelsea will also retain the right to a percentage of any future transfer fee involving the striker," it added.
