Maresca asks Blues board to bring powerful strike to Chelsea
CHELSEA boss Enzo Maresca is keen for the board to chase striker Samu Omorodion, as he is the kind of striker that the Italian boss would like to have in his squad.
With the club looking to splash some more cash and try to sign players that will develop in the coming seasons – Omorodion was a player that was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge towards the back-end of the transfer window.
But despite all the rumours and speculation – The 6ft 4in striker eventually joined Porto permanently and since then he has been on fire for the Portuguese outfit, and he is really impressing at the Portuguese giants.
While a move for a proven striker like Osimhen might prove popular with Chelsea fans, it is on Samu Omorodion that manager Enzo Maresca is “insisting” that the Blues chase, Fichajes reports.
The 20-year-old has enhanced his reputation greatly since moving to Porto in the summer for €15 million – considerably less than the club were expected to pay – notably shining against Manchester United in a thrilling 3-3 Europa League draw in October.
The Spain under-21 international has recently expressed his relief at not heading to Stamford Bridge – He told RTVE: “I went through a very difficult period, because, after all, everyone knows that I was about to sign [for CHELSEA], but the truth is that it didn’t happen. It was for one reason: God didn’t want it. I’m very happy, very content to be there.
‘The truth is that things are going very well for me and, above all, I want to continue to show what I’m capable of.”
