Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Spanish under-19 international striker Samu Omorodion from Granada after the release clause in his contract was triggered.
The teenage center forward scored 18 goals for Granada’s reserve team last season and also scored for the club’s first team against Atleti last Monday in Los Colcheneros’ 3-1 win at the Civitas Metropolitano in their La Liga opener.

The six-foot four-inch center forward has been described as explosive due to his sheer pace and power and is considered one for the future with fellow target man Morata now on the wrong side of 30.
