Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
Chelsea's early moves in the transfer market are kicking up a storm after reports emerged suggesting they have put €40 million (£34m/$43m) on the table for 20-year-old Omorodion. The striker has been on loan at Deportivo Alaves from Atletico Madrid but only managed to score eight times in 2023-24.
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Todd Boehly undoubtedly wants the best for Chelsea, but his transfer decisions are continuing to cause mass confusion. It is very rare for the Blues to target a well-known name over a youth prospect from the other side of Europe or the world. If they are to compete at the top of the Premier League anytime soon, it may be worth Boehly evaluating his approach to the market.
GOALWHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
After sacking Mauricio Pochettino following Chelsea's fifth-placed finish last term, Enzo Maresca will have the summer to prepare his new squad for the challenges to come in 2024-25. He will want to get his business done early, but whether he specifically requested Omorodion remains unknown.
