It’s been a strange summer for Samu Omorodion and he now faces uncertainty over his future following his links to Nottingham Forest.
The talented 20-year-old was linked with a move to the City Ground before bigger clubs appeared on the scene for his signature.
For weeks it looked like a move to a big Premier League club was on the cards – but now it looks like that won’t be the case.
Atletico Madrid have signed Julian Alvarez from Manchester City, which will take Omorodion out of the Wanda Metropolitano pecking order.
Now some information has emerged about the youngster and it could be a bonus for Forest as the club chase the striker.
Nottingham Forest-linked Omorodion will not join Chelsea
The Daily Mail announced last night that Omorodion will not be joining Chelsea after a deal to sign him fell through.
There have been problems with a contract offer for the young talisman and all indications are that he will stay at Atletico Madrid – for now!
This afternoon it emerged that the news of Chelsea’s collapse has alerted other clubs to his services.
According to Ryan Taylor of The Mirror, the unnamed Premier League club have now expressed an interest in signing Omorodion this summer.
It is clear that Atletico will let him leave this summer and many top clubs are looking for the striker.
Last season, Omorodion caught the eye as a loan player at Alaves, scoring nine goals in 36 games in all competitions.
Forest may be looking for a better one than Omorodion
Since their links with the Spaniard, Forest have been linked with bigger and better than the 20-year-old.
Barcelona talent Vitor Roque has been linked with a move to Forest, while Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez is also on the radar.
Even if Chelsea were to consider signing Omorodion, it would be too much of a risk for Forest to select the youngster.
Perhaps a more established player like Gimenez or someone labeled a prodigy like Roque would make more sense.
Either way, it looks like clubs are now back in the running for Omorodion and it will be fascinating to see who the unnamed club is.
