Chelsea are spending money in the transfer market and bringing some of the best young talents worldwide. The Blues already spent more than 100M in this summer transfer window, and no doubt this number will increase in the upcoming weeks before the end of the transfer window. Now, the club is looking for a new young striker.
The Spanish striker Samuel Omordion of Athletico Madrid is recently linked with Chelsea. After the takeover of BlueCo, Chelsea always focused on young talents and now they are looking for a new young striker. Samuel Omordion is one of the targets, Chelsea are considering right now. The 20-year-old Spanish striker signed Athletic Madrid last season on a five-year contract. But after joining Athklectico Madrid the Spaniard left the club and spent the whole season on a loan spell with another La Liga side Deportivo Alaves. Last season the Spaniard made 35 appearances across all competitions and scored 8 goals while registering one assist. Samuel Omordion also played for Spain U19 and U21 squad.
Will Samuel Omorodion Join Chelsea?
Well, Chelsea already signed two strikers in this summer, Marc Guiu from Barcelona and Omari Kellyman from Premier League side Aston Villa. Both the strikers are 18 years old, and no doubt that Chelsea have a long-term plan with both strikers. But still, the clues could go for another striker this summer and also a young one. So, Samuel Omorodion’s deal could happen in this transfer market.
According to news published by Chelsea News, Football News Correspondent Matt Law believes that Chelsea may sign Samuel Omorodion. The Blues could go for a swap deal involving their English midfielder Conor Gallagher. He also said that Chelsea are very interested in this 20-year-old Spaniard and also reached out to Spanish side Atletico Madrid for his availability to bring him to Stamford Bridge. He said,
“Chelsea really like this lad [Samu Omorodion], he ticks a lot of boxes for them. If there could be a deal done there, with [Conor] Gallagher going to the other way, then it’s possible.”
Atletico Madrid’s main striker Alvaro Morata is set to join AC Milan in the summer, leaving the club after 6 seasons. Apart from that Memphis Depay will also be leaving the club in the summer. Samuel Omorodion has that capability and he is young and could play for Atletico Madrid for a long time. Samuel Omorodion also wants to stay in Madrid rather than move to a new club right now. This creates a headache for the Blues.
Chelsea New signings
Enzo Maresca’s side already brought the best young talents around the world in the summer. The Blues already signed six players in this transfer window, 4 of them are under the age of 20. Only Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Tosin Adarabioyo are over the age of 20. Chelsea have a lot of options in the striker position, apart from the new two signings, the Blues have Nicolas Jackson, David Datro Fofana, Angelo Gabriel, Armando Broja, and Christopher Nukunku. But the Blues still hunting for another striker, and Samuel Omorodion is certainly is one of their targets in the summer.
The Blues next fixtures
Chelsea will meet League One side Wrexham on the pre-season tour on July 25 in California, USA. After the pre-season, Enzo Maresca’s side will start their premier league campaign against Premier League champion Manchester United next month. The Blues are hoping for a good start in the season.
