19-year-old Samu Omorodion in line for Alaves debut after greet and meet

Atletico Madrid’s youngster Samuel Omorodion could make his LALIGA debut for new club Deportivo Alaves on Monday.

Alaves take on Getafe in one of two matches slated for Monday night football in the LALIGA for matchday three.

Omorodion has been named in the Alaves 24-man travelling squad for the clash. 

The 19-year-old was named in the squad which was shared on the club’s X.com account on Monday just 48 hours after he joined the club.

Alaves sealed a season-long loan transfer from Atletico Madrid for the highly-rated Spanish-born Nigerian striker on Saturday. 

Pulse Sports reported that Omorodion completed the move just five days after his release clause was activated by Atleti to prise him away from Granada. 

The forward made his debut against his now-parent club during the season opener at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Omorodion opened his account for the season in that clash before he was snapped up by Diego Simeone’s Atleti. 

He went on to pen a five-year contract with the capital club which will expire in the summer of 2028. 

However, the club decided that it would be better to send him out on loan to allow him to continue his development, with Alaves the preferred destination.

Two days later, Omorodion could make a second debut after making Alaves’ squad for the game against Granada.

Omorodion also had a greet and meet with fans which was put together by the club.
