Chelsea are on the verge of signing Spanish striker Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid.
The move is part of a larger transfer strategy for the Blues, who are also selling midfielder Conor Gallagher to the Spanish club.
Atletico’s acquisition of Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez has triggered a squad overhaul, with Omorodion identified as a player they can cash in on.
Chelsea have seized the opportunity to bolster their attacking options with the promising 20-year-old.
Omorodion impressed on loan at Alaves last season, scoring eight goals, and has continued his development with the Spanish Olympic team.
This summer has seen a significant overhaul of Chelsea’s squad, with numerous incomings and outgoings.
The club have invested heavily in midfield and defense, but have also targeted attacking reinforcements.
The future of Romelu Lukaku remains uncertain as the club continues to reshape its squad under new management.
