Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham United are the clubs exploring a move for Atletico Madrid’s teenage striker Samu Omorodion.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham are looking closely at Atletico Madrid’s €60 million-rated La Liga prodigy Samu Omorodion. The teenage striker has caught the eye with his impressive displays with Deportivo Alaves on loan, as the Roji Blancos could sanction a sale at the right price.
Premier League trio chasing Samu Omorodion
Some highly-rated names around Europe continue to catch the attention of top clubs, including Samu Omorodion. The €60 million-rated La Liga prodigy, who is contracted to Atletico Madrid until 2028, has had a productive season while on loan to Deportivo Alaves.
Atletico wants €60 million to sell the teenagers as they are aware of the growing interest from Premier League sides. West Ham have been interested, as now it appears that Arsenal and Liverpool are also keen on the striker, as his nine goals for Alaves show he is ready to make it at a big club.
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone cannot promise the €60 million-rated La Liga prodigy regular game time when he returns to the club. Hence, the Spanish giants are ready to cash in should suitable offers come in. Mikel Arteta at Arsenal would like a new striker in a secondary role to compete with the likes of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus while potentially replacing Eddie Nketiah, who seems destined for a departure.
Liverpool are also keen, as they would like to add a young striker to their stable of some able forwards. At either club, Omorodion might find it difficult to break into the starting lineup from the get-go, which might prompt him to carefully consider his future should he decide to leave Atletico.
West Ham best placed for Omorodion
The Hammers are not in active talks with Atletico for Omorodion, but on paper, they seem like a logical bet for the striker to choose among the other interested clubs. While he might explore the idea of competing for a place at Atletico, should some of his suitors decide to pay big, the Spanish giants might sell.
Only at West Ham can he have that verbal guarantee of getting many minutes next season, as currently, he might not find a breakthrough either at Arsenal or Liverpool. Hence, the Hammers might have a bigger chance than the Gunners or the Merseysiders, but will they invest big in a relatively unproven teenager ahead of a big summer window?
