Aston Villa made a signing bid to the 20-year-old La Liga star.

Samu Omorodion, a striker for Atletico Madrid, has been connected to a move away from the team in recent months.

It was anticipated that he would sign with Chelsea of the Premier League, but the deal appears to have fallen through. Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that teams like Aston Villa are currently interested in signing the striker.

In the upcoming weeks, it will be intriguing to watch if the West Midlands club decides to pursue him. Omorodion scored nine goals in the league with Alaves this past season, continuing his outstanding play in La Liga. He has gone back to his parent team, Atletico Madrid, and they are willing to allow him to leave.

He might also turn out to be a good long-term addition for Aston Villa. The 20-year-old striker will strengthen the team’s physicality, technical proficiency, and goal-scoring ability. Ollie Watkins has been too reliant on Aston Villa, and the England international requires more assistance in the attack.

With Omorodion joining the team, Unai Emery will have more opportunities to rearrange his pack and share the goalscoring load.

Next season, Aston Villa will be a competitive team in the UEFA Champions League, making them a desirable destination for players. If a chance arises, the gifted young striker might be persuaded to sign with them this summer.

Omorodion is unlikely to receive consistent playing time at Atletico Madrid at this point in his career. It would be great if he could sign a permanent contract with the Premier League team, especially if they could assure him of playing in the first team.

Aston Villa boasts a highly skilled team and an exceptional management. In the upcoming seasons, they might offer Omorodion the perfect platform to advance his growth and realize his enormous potential.
