Samu Omorodion will be joining Chelsea. The 20-year-old forward will be leaving Atletico Madrid. He is a top talent and will be looking to improve his game. The Blues are active in the market once again. They are keen to find and secure young and to-be great players. They had a rough Premier League 23/24 season. The London side finished 6th in the league table. But, they won’t be playing in the UEL. Man Utd beat Man City in the FA Cup final. As a result, the Red Devils will play in the UEL. So, the Blues will now feature in the UECL this time.
At the same time, they also showed some potential in the last campaign. They managed to reach the finals of the EFL Cup. But, they ended up losing to Liverpool after extra time. Now, they are in the process of rebuilding themselves. They have already hired new manager Enzo Maresca. Owner Todd Boehly is once again focusing on signing young players. But, they are not spending overly this time around. The Blues have rather become infamous for signing unproven players on a high pay-grade. Things are looking different this time around though. Chelsea are on course to sign Samu Omorodion for a reasonable fee.
Samu Omorodion joins Chelsea
20-year-old Samu Omorodion is on his way to Chelsea. The Blues will be paying a £35 million fee for him. Bayer Leverkusen were also keen on signing him. But, the London side have managed to beat them. The striker will be undergoing his medical soon. Personal terms have been agreed since long. The forward will be joining on a 7-year deal. He will be hoping to prove himself in Europe’s best league. He will also be getting a chance to play with a young side and enjoy quality football.
As per caughtoffside.com, Atleti were not ready to let Samu Omorodion leave. They wanted to confirm Julian Alvarez signing first. As of now, they have bought the Argentinian. As a result, the 20-year-old is free to join Chelsea. Maresca will surely be happy to have a new striker on his hands. But, he knows that a lot of work is still to be done. The striker is still young and not experienced enough. The Blues have to improve at the front. They might try to work things out but they might have to buy someone quality later on.
Chelsea at it again
Once again, Chelsea have managed to sign a young player. Samu Omorodion adds to the list of their young transfers. As per en.wikipedia.org, he only has 72 appearances at the club level so far. He is eligible to play for both Spain and Nigeria. As of now, he has played for Spain U23 squad. He is yet to win a cap for the first-team. As per transfermarkt.co.in, he merely has 28 G/A in his club career. He played for Deportivo Alaves on loan for the most of 23/24. He was their top scorer, scoring 8 goals in La Liga.
Chelsea have once again managed to sign top talent. With Samu Omorodion move done, they could be really tough to beat. Fans will be keen to see their side return amongst the top 4. Meanwhile, the Blues will also be aiming to win the UECL. Without a doubt, they have a very talented squad. But, they need proper guidance and experience. If Maresca is able to get this team together, they will be the one to watch. They have invested heavily in the future. If all works out, we might see them dominating in the upcoming few years.
