Omorodion claims God did not want him to join Chelsea

FC Porto striker, Samu Omorodion, has revealed that he was told by God not to join Chelsea, despite being on the verge of signing with the Premier League club.

The Blues had reached a £34 million deal for the 20-year-old with Atletico Madrid.

However, the agreement was scrapped due to concerns about an ankle injury.

Omorodion has since signed for Porto, scoring seven goals in as many games, including a brace in a 3-3 draw with Manchester United in the Europa League.

“I had a very difficult summer,” Omorodion told Spanish outlet RTVE.

“We had a really bad time because in the end everyone knows that I was close to signing, but it’s true that if it didn’t happen.

“It was for a reason, because God didn’t want it.”
