Roma and Napoli will need a new center-forward in the summer and have set sights on Samu Omorodion, who’s breaking through at Alaves while on loan from Atletico Madrid. Arsenal and Tottenham are also keen on the prodigy, DAZN’s Orazio Accomando informs.

The 20-year-old has netted 9 goals and assisted once in 32 La Liga matches this season. The Colchoneros acquired him from Granada last year for €6M after he showed some promise in the lower leagues.

Napoli and Roma have earmarked Omorodion as they’ll need to replace Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku respectively. The Partenopei are waiting for an offer from the Premier League for their star. He’d rather move there than go back to Ligue 1, even though PSG are one of his primary suitors, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Azzurri are eyeing high-profile strikers but will struggle to lure one without the Champions League. Artem Dovbyk is one of the most realistic targets, even though Girona have qualified. He costs about €30M. Genoa’s Mateo Retegui could also become an option.

The Giallorossi aren’t so certain about keeping Tammy Abraham either. He has received plenty of criticism, with some fans crossing the line, for his missed opportunities in recent matches. He might decide to ask out, AGI informs.

Our Take on Roma, Napoli, and Omorodion

He’d be a fine acquisition in a combo with a more established player, but Atletico Madrid have very little reason to let him go after just a year if not for a very large offer.
