Chelsea in danger of seeing €40m transfer fall through after serious issues were flagged

Samu Omorodion’s move to Chelsea is close to falling through after he failed to “satisfactorily” pass his medical according to reports in Spain.

Omorodion’s move to Chelsea is in danger of collapsing.

The report adds that Omorodion is back in Spain with Atletico and Fabrizio Romano has added that all parties are still working on the deal.

Omorodion joined Atletico last summer from Granada but spent the season on loan at Alaves where he scored nine goals in 36 appearances.
