Aston Villa have been linked with Spanish striker Samu Omorodion. He is likely to cost a premium, with former scout Bryan King suggesting that paying over £40 million might not be appealing for the 20-year-old.

Aston Villa, under the management of Unai Emery, is eager to bring Samu Omorodion on board during the summer transfer window. The club is in search of a striker resembling Omorodion's profile to fill the void left by Jhon Duran, who was transferred to Saudi Arabia for approximately 80 million euros. Aston Villa is willing to invest heavily in securing Omorodion, who is also catching the attention of other prominent English clubs. It is reported that the player is open to the prospect of joining the Premier League, as his robust, powerful, and quick playing style is likely to thrive on English soil. FC Porto is poised to make a considerable financial gain within a year, with Atlético de Madrid also set to receive a notable share of the transfer proceeds.

Aston Villa was reportedly keen on Omorodion during the summer, joining Chelsea in showing interest. However, it is not currently suggested that Aston Villa is in the race for Omorodion.
