Samu's on fire! Chelsea's 'incompetence and entitlement' called out after striker scores four first-half goals for Spain U21s

Premier League

Leicester

<p>Omorodion was widely <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/samu-omorodion-divine-intervention-blocking-chelsea-transfer-porto-switch/blt849454d4f22f55ac#csa2888476389c69ef" target="_blank">expected to sign for Chelsea</a> from Atletico Madrid, with Conor Gallagher going in the opposite direction. However, the promising Spanish striker chose a different path, ending up at<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/samu-omorodion-completes-shock-transfer-from-atletico-madrid-after-chelsea-switch-dramatically-collapse/blt86df8ac44e7e4e0f" target="_blank"> Portuguese club FC Porto</a> instead of making the move to Stamford Bridge.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Since then, Omorodion has quickly made an impact at Porto, with seven goals in his first six appearances across all competitions, including a stunning brace against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League, while he also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/samu-omorodion-divine-intervention-blocking-chelsea-transfer-porto-switch/blt849454d4f22f55ac" target="_self">thanked God</a> for diverting him away from Chelsea. The 20-year-old has now grabbed headlines for scoring four goals in the first half of Spain Under-21s' game against Malta, cementing his status as one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Omorodion's international heroics have renewed discussion among Chelsea fans about their club’s transfer decisions.</p><p>A Blues' fan, <a href="https://x.com/cfcgary_/status/1846223647121281455" target="_blank">@cfcgary_,</a> wrote: "Samu Omorodion is a testament to Chelsea board incompetence and Chelsea fan entitlement. A good club would release a press briefing justifying their approach for this striker, but our board appeased fans by rejecting him for Joao Felix and Pedro Neto."</p><p>Whereas <a href="https://x.com/CFCKen_/status/1846225453515686141" target="_blank">@CFCKen_</a> wrote: "Samu Omorodion scored 4 goals in the first half for Spain's U21 Chelsea scouts are massive this guy would have cooked for us fr."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/LifeOfNapaul/status/1846228074209153031" target="_blank">@LifeOfNapaul</a> seconded him and wrote: "Whosoever is incharge of Chelsea’s scouting department should be given a raise. Chelsea was in talks with Samu Omorodion, Jhon Duràn, Ivan Toney &amp; Victor Osimhen. This tweet is about Samu Omorodion, non of us saw him as a world beater this season, but Chelsea’s scouts saw it.🫡"</p><p>Whereas a rival fan, <a href="https://x.com/NotADogmatist_/status/1846232221671100729" target="_blank">@NotADogmatist_</a> compared him to Erling Haaland and wrote: "Samu Omorodion is moving like u20 Haaland and it’s getting scary! We should literally be happy he didn’t land in any elite club. No disrespect to Porto at all, but a(Barca/Arsenal/PSG) move would have kept Europe on its toes for a long time! Good he never signed for Chelsea…!!"</p><p>On the other hand, @WanmaiCFC36 lamented: "How did Chelsea mess up after this with Samu Omorodion deal? 😮‍💨"</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>With his remarkable form, Omorodion is expected to feature prominently in FC Porto's upcoming Taca de Portugal third-round fixture against Sintrense on October 20.  Meanwhile, Chelsea will be in action on the same day against Liverpool at Anfield in a Premier League encounter. </p>
