Former Super Eagles defender Danny Shittu has urged Spanish-Nigerian striker Samu Omorodion to avoid rushing into a move away from Portuguese side FC Porto, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 20-year-old has piqued the interest of many European clubs vying for his signature, having quickly adjusted to life in Portugal with a scoring spree of 20 goals in 32 match appearances in the 2024-25 season campaign for Porto.<\/p>\n Following this, Chelsea, who were on the verge of securing a move for the player, have returned to the market with their interest in the former Atl\u00e9tico Madrid player. However, they face competition from their London rivals, Arsenal, who are also interested in signing the player.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Nigeria-eligible Samu Omorodion joins Zaidu Sanusi at Porto following failed\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0move<\/a><\/p>\n Shittu, speaking to Africafoot<\/a>, described the Super Eagles-eligible player as a powerful, fast, and clinical forward who could turn out to be a top player in the coming years.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst of all, I think Samu is extremely talented and has huge potential to reach great heights in a few years. He is powerful, fast, and a good finisher,\u201d Shittu said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Shittu advised that the former Deportivo Alav\u00e9s loanee should focus on steady growth rather than making a premature move.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think he shouldn\u2019t rush into a big-stakes move because he still has a lot to learn, and FC Porto offers him that platform. He\u2019s in good hands. He should give himself a season or two in Portugal to continue to develop before leaving,\u201d the former Nigeria international added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Omorodion was undoubtedly a standout performer in La Liga this season, and his development has been closely monitored by scouts across Europe. However, Shittu believes that patience will be key in ensuring he reaches his full potential.<\/p>\n \u201cIf he continues in the same vein, with proper development and attitude, then in a season or two, top clubs will be lining up for his signature. He will have a good bargaining chip and Porto will gain more if they decide to sell him,\u201d Shittu concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Currently shining in Portugal, Omorodion is now worth 50 million euros and a little more time and growth can make a good business for Porto in the near future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/imago1059217431-scaled.jpg\")
