Chelsea have lined up Atlético Madrid’s Samu Omorodion as an alternative to Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán, as the London club hunt for a new striker.
Omorodion, a 20-year-old forward, has been on loan at Alavés and has been the subject of talks between Atlético and Chelsea. He scored nine goals in 35 appearances last season and could cost more than £30m.
