Nigeria risks losing former Chelsea target to Spain after success

Posted : 30 September 2024

Samuel Omorodion, a promising 20-year-old forward, may soon be lost to Nigeria as he is expected to receive a call-up to the Spanish senior national team for the upcoming international break. Since transferring to Porto from Atletico Madrid this summer, Omorodion has showcased impressive form, scoring four goals in his first four matches with his new club.


His move to Porto was a surprising turn of events, as he was initially linked with a transfer to Chelsea. However, that deal fell through at the last minute, leaving the young talent to pursue his career in Portugal. The transition has proven fruitful for Omorodion, whose scoring ability has drawn attention from national team selectors.


Raised in Spain, Omorodion has progressed through various levels of the Spanish youth setup, even participating in the 2024 Olympics. While there has been speculation regarding a potential switch to represent Nigeria, the discussions have yet to bear fruit, and he remains firmly in the Spanish footballing framework.


Reports suggest that Omorodion is on the verge of a senior call-up, with Football Espania indicating he will be included in Spain's squad for UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Serbia. This opportunity marks a significant step in his career and could solidify his future with the Spanish national team.


FIFA regulations stipulate that if Omorodion plays in any of these matches, he would be ineligible to switch his allegiance to Nigeria permanently. Given his exceptional talent and recent performances, it is likely that he could become a key player for Spain in the years to come.


The prospect of Omorodion donning the Spanish jersey could bring an end to any hopes Nigeria had of securing his services. With his impressive skill set and a promising future ahead, his decision will undoubtedly impact both nations’ football trajectories.


As the international break approaches, all eyes will be on Omorodion to see if he makes his debut for Spain, marking a pivotal moment in his burgeoning career. Whether he ultimately chooses to represent Nigeria or Spain, it is clear that his future is bright, and he has the potential to make significant contributions on the international stage.
