Christopher Nkunku can play the role, but is a different style of forward and managed just 14 appearances in an injury-hit season. With the Blues looking to invest in forward areas, they have turned their attentions to Samu Omorodion, a 6ft 4ins Spain U21 international who only joined Atletico Madrid last summer. He scored eight goals with the club, taking his total to nine in his debut season. 'You can see him evolving in the games we've followed involving Alaves,' Diego Simeone, Atletico manager, said of the forward last season. According to reports, Madrid will look to tie Omorodion down to a new contract with a £100m release clause.
