Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea has finalized the signing of Samuel Omorodion from Atlético Madrid for a transfer fee of £35 million.
Omorodion has agreed to a seven-year contract with the Premier League side and is set to undergo medical tests.
Despite interest from other clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen, the young striker has chosen to join Chelsea.
This signing marks a significant move for Chelsea, who have been searching for a striker this summer.
While they were heavily linked to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Omorodion’s addition is seen as a long-term investment in the team’s future.
The 20-year-old Spanish striker of Nigerian descent has already gained valuable experience, scoring eight goals in 34 La Liga appearances while on loan at Alaves.
