The senior international future of on loan Atletico Madrid forward Samuel Omorodion isn’t quite certain that he will represent Spain with Nigeria also said to be keen on the 19
year old, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Omorodion qualifies for Nigeria through his father but has represented Spain where he was born at several youth levels, the last of which is playing for the U21s four months
into his stay with the U-19s.
He took the LaLiga with storm playing for Granada, prompting Atletico to trigger his buyout clause of C6m before the close of the summer transfer window. He was immediately sent
out on loan to fellow LaLiga side Alaves.
At Alaves he has stepped up to the occasion with 8 goals in 13 games including one against Barcelona. That form hasn’t gone unnoticed by the handlers of the senior national team
of Nigeria, and contacts has been made already per what we exclusively gathered.
A member of the coaching staff of coach lose Peseiro made contacts with his representative to set up a meeting, which they plan to hold after the Africa Cup of Nations as the
future of the coach is tied to the tournament.
With Nigeria finishing second after losing 1-2 to Cote d’Ivoire meaning head coach Jose Peseiro could yet stay after meeting the target of semi final, a decision which will
likely be next month might see another approach to the 19 year old.
