Tammy Abraham, the AC Milan striker on loan from AS Roma, spoke to CBS Sports Golazo, about his move to the Rossoneri:
"I think one thing I've always said the first time I came out here was, you know, it was about time I spreaded my wings it was about time I tried something different and I think people are realizing, you know, that it's there's more than just being in your comfort zone."
Abraham on English players joining Serie A sides:
"I think people are not scared anymore. They want to try something different, there's no better place than Italy to come and learn the culture, the football. You know, life has been good out here. So, it's definitely a good experience."
On the AC Milan team:
"Having players that I played with, especially in Chelsea, here at Milan before I arrived, was definitely a key part of why I'm here today. I spoke to each of them individually and they all had nice things to say. I was playing against them for the past couple years now so I always knew what kind of club it was... We know the history behind it, the fans are very passionate and they want to win. So, I knew it was a good club. But, just having my mates here as well was nice."
On Kyle Walker joining AC Milan, Abraham said:
"When Kyle Walker called me, it was a clear and obvious answer. I just told him how big of a club this is, how wonderful it is, it wasn't a hard decision."
On the Champions League exit against Feyenoord:
"In life, there's always going to be ups and downs, disappointments... It's about how we overcome this. We still wanted to be in a big competition like the Champions League. But, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. This was one of them occasions where we have to learn, get stronger, and we still have another chance to win another trophy which we'll be fighting for."
On Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Abraham said:
"You know, it's a player you grew up watching. I was lucky enough to play against him a few times. Speaking to him on the phone, and him giving me wise words and confidence, you know, he's someone who always wants bring the best out of you. He is someone who has done it at a big level and played for this wonderful club. He's an inspiration for me."
On similarities between Sergio Conceicao and José Mourinho:
"They're not 100%. Playing with Conceicao and obviously José, you know, they have similarities,they are both guys who really believe in what they want to achieve. They're driven, hardworking and they want the best from you, and I think as players, we all need this drive to perform at our best."
Abraham on his Italian
"Me and Christian (Pulisic), we like to have a bit of competition, who can speak better. He speaks better than me, but don't tell him."
He added:
"We were actually speaking about America. I told him that if they are willing to offer him a deal (MLS), he should take me along with him. So, you know, you never know things in football. You never know life, God's plan, so if it came one day, absolutely."
What if you weren't a footballer?
"If I weren't a footballer, I would have loved to be an actor. There's something I can probably look at after football. But, I would have loved to be an actor. I think I could be Will Smith, I could do a bit of Denzel Washington, a bit of Leonardo DiCaprio, you know, I could do it all. I think I just have to be in the right scene, in the right moment and I'll show you."
Abraham on his career goals:
"I think, number one is winning. I'm a winner, I want to win. But, at the same time, I always believe you live once, always enjoy your time, football doesn't go on forever, so while you're in it, enjoy it as much as possible. Try to bring smiles to everyone's faces, try to have a good time, try to play with a smile on your face also. Life is all about enjoying yourself. I'm living my dream, so absolutely, yeah, every right to be happy."
