The former Chelsea striker struggled with injury in the 2023-24 campaign as he remained sidelined for the majority of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. He appeared in just 12 matches across all competitions, scoring once and providing as many assists.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to reporters, the Italian said: "Tammy is a strong player in our squad, then the market tells you that even those you thought you were keeping leave and those you thought were leaving stayed and had incredible seasons. He is an important player for us and could have a lot of value. He has recovered, I saw him in the last six months when he returned from a very serious injury. I know that what I saw is not the real Tammy and we are banking on him."There is no problem in banking on strong players and the same goes for Edoardo [Bove]. I see, I speak to the director and we see the opportunities that the market offers and the players' requests. Sometimes players need more space, they get restless and I understand this and I have to accept it."

The Giallorossi will be next seen in action on Saturday as they take on Greek giants Olympiakos in a pre-season friendly match.
