FC Porto striker, Samu Omorodion, has claimed that God told him not to join Chelsea, despite coming close to signing for the Premier League club.

The Blues had a £34million agreement for the 20-year-old with Atletico Madrid.

But the deal fell through amid concerns over an ankle injury.

Omorodion has since signed for Porto, scoring seven goals in as many games, including a brace in a 3-3 draw with Manchester United in the Europa League.

“I had a very difficult summer,” Omorodion told Spanish outlet RTVE.

“We had a really bad time because in the end everyone knows that I was close to signing, but it’s true that if it didn’t happen.

“It was for a reason, because God didn’t want it.”
