Arsenal still haven’t scored this season after a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, and Tammy Abraham has immediately shown the Gunners what they’re missing.
Mikel Arteta’s men were comfortably beaten at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as Romelu Lukaku and Reece James found the net for Chelsea.
Arsenal barely looked like scoring outside of a Rob Holding header, with the lack of attacking threat a major concern for Arteta.
The Gunners still haven’t scored after two Premier League games, and there are major fears over where on earth the goals are going to come from this season.
One player Arsenal were linked with was Abraham, but the Gunners missed out last week.
The Athletic reported that boyhood Arsenal fan Abraham was telling Chelsea teammates that he wanted to join Arsenal, but they failed to firm up their interest.
That allowed Roma to swoop in and sign Abraham, and he enjoyed a dream debut for the Serie A side on Sunday.
Abraham was given a standing ovation as he picked up two assists in Roma’s 3-1 win over Fiorentina, setting up goals for Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jordan Veretout.
Abraham even managed to get Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski sent off, enjoying a superb debut that was just lacking a goal.
As Arsenal attempt to find a way to score goals, seeing Abraham thrive has to hurt – especially given his love for the Gunners.
