The protracted transfer saga surrounding Samu Omorodion has finally come to an end as he completed a move to Porto from Atletico Madrid.

Omorodion had long been expected to join Chelsea this summer with a £34million agreement in place before the deal fell through amid concerns over an ankle injury.

The collapse of the transfer threw Conor Gallagher's proposed move to Atletico into limbo as the Spanish club needed to raise funds before completing their signing of the midfielder.

Joao Felix's return to Stamford Bridge ultimately served as the makeweight that saw Gallagher's move confirmed however, and Atletico subsequently offered Omorodion to both Aston Villa and Juventus.

With the 20-year-old forward available, Porto president Andre Villas-Boas swooped in and signed Omorodion in a deal worth just £12.7million, with Atletico retaining a 50% sell on clause. 

The signing marks the second permanent arrival of the summer for Porto after they brought in Francisco Conceicao from Ajax in July following a successful loan spell last season.

Omorodion began his career in Granada's youth setup and featured regularly for the club's B team before being handed his first first-team appearance.

At the start of last season, Omorodion started Granada's clash with Atletico, netting on his debut in the 3-1 defeat and sufficiently impressing Diego Simeone to the point that he signed him just one week later.

Omorodion was sent straight out on loan to Alaves and netted 8 goals in 34 top flight appearances, finishing as the club's top scorer.

The forward was also part of Spain's Olympic football side that claimed gold with victory over the hosts in Paris this summer.
