Chelsea remain hopeful of signing forward Samu Omorodion in the current transfer window, despite already having a bid rejected by Atletico Madrid, according to recent reports.
The Blues are looking to bring in a new striker this summer window, which is something we have consistently heard for a long time now.
Meanwhile, according to UK based Journalist Rahman Osman,…
“Chelsea’s interest Samu Omorodion is serious and they held talks with Atletico Madrid this week. He’s seen as the right profile and the right age.
Atletico want a big fee. West Ham have also enquired. Samu was born in Spain to Nigeria parents.”
The 20-year-old striker spent last season on loan at Alaves from Atletico Madrid, who signing the striker from Granada. He scored 8 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions last season.
Once again, the theme continues of Chelsea targeting unproven young players to come in to their first team squad and take a gamble that they hope will pay off after using intensive data within their scouting networks. They have a lot of belief in these players that they scout.
The Londoners have been one of the busier clubs in the early stages of the window, having already signed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo.
It seems their business is not yet complete as links to strikers ramp up.
