Chelsea Target Samuel Omorodion: Terry Gibson’s Verdict

Chelsea is set to make a significant splash in the transfer market this summer, with the Blues in talks to sign Atletico Madrid’s Samuel Omorodion for a whopping £35 million. The Spain U23 international has been a subject of interest for Chelsea, and the club has reportedly reached a club-to-club agreement with Atletico Madrid for his transfer.

According to sources, Chelsea has also finalized personal terms with the player, paving the way for a potential deal. However, former Manchester United forward Terry Gibson has given his verdict on the transfer, stating that Chelsea is buying potential in Omorodion.

"No one is being too critical of Omorodion," Gibson said on Sky Sports. "It’s incredible that Chelsea have lumped in straightaway, so Atletico Madrid paid six million euros and they are going to sell him for 30 million. They are buying potential; centre forwards do cost a lot of money."

Gibson’s comments suggest that Chelsea is taking a risk by paying such a hefty sum for Omorodion, who has yet to prove himself at the highest level. The £30-odd million Chelsea is set to pay Atletico Madrid is a significant investment, and the club will be hoping that the player will live up to his potential in the future.

Omorodion’s transfer to Chelsea would be a major coup for the club, which has been looking to strengthen its attack in the off-season. The player’s pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive target for Chelsea, and the club will be hoping that he will make an immediate impact in the Premier League.

The transfer is still pending, but Chelsea fans will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement, which could come soon.
