The Gunners have joined Liverpool and West Ham in the pursuit of Samu Omorodion, a promising Nigerian striker currently making waves in Spain, as per Soccernet.NG.
The 19-year-old, who kicked off his top-flight career with an impressive goal against Atletico Madrid, has caught the eye of several top English clubs.
Omorodion, who began his senior career with Atletico Madrid, was quickly loaned out to LaLiga’s Granada, where he has scored eight goals in 29 appearances. Despite his successful stint at Granada, the young striker faces uncertainty at Atletico, as regular first-team play is not assured when his loan ends.
With a market value estimated at €40 million by Transfermarkt, Omorodion’s future could hinge on the playing time he is offered. Liverpool’s entry into the race adds another layer of competition for Arsenal and West Ham, who are both keen to bolster their attacking options.
Born in Spain to Nigerian parents, Omorodion currently plays for the Spanish youth national teams but remains eligible to play for Nigeria. This dual nationality adds to his appeal, offering flexibility in his international career choices.
