An embarrassing superiority, a player simply from another category. Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa he dragged Spain Under-21 in the 6-0 win against Malta: the 20-year-old Porto striker remained on the pitch for less than an hour but achieved a fantastic poker all in the first half.
The player of Nigerian origins, for whom the Portuguese side paid 15 million euros into Atlético Madrid’s coffers for 50% of the fee, is making a name for himself this season: scoring a brace in the 3-3 draw in the Europa League against Manchester United he made him known to those few who were still unaware of his existence. A center forward of great physical size, the boy who grew up in the Granada youth team has already scored 7 goals in 7 games with the Dragoesremaining on the pitch for just over 450 minutes: the average is one center every 67 minutes, truly extraordinary and worthy of great strikers like Haaland and Mbappé.
Omorodion has scored in his first three games for his new team, equaling a result achieved in the past only by Soares, Falcao, Pena and Janko. De la Fuente, who decided not to call him up for the Nations League matches in October, is observing his growth with interest and could call him up for the matches scheduled for next month.
