The 20-year-old’s performances helped Alaves secure a 10th-place finish in La Liga, comfortably avoiding relegation and finishing closer to European qualification than the bottom three.
Despite his success on loan at Alaves, Omorodion’s future at Atletico Madrid appears uncertain, especially following the arrival of Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth at the club.

Omorodion’s possible availability has sparked a flurry of interest from Premier League clubs, with Aston Villa being approached about a potential deal as they look to strengthen their forward line before the transfer window shuts.
Villa weighing up options Omorodion transfer

The Villans are reportedly assessing the possibility of signing Omorodion, especially with Jhon Duran's future still in doubt, despite his recent match-winning goal against West Ham United.
The 19-year-old striker has also been linked with other top Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Newcastle United, and was close to a move to Chelsea before negotiations broke down.

These clubs are all said to be conducting due diligence on Omorodion as they explore their options for the final days of the transfer window. However, with Aston Villa already in discussions, they could be in pole position to secure the services of the Super Eagles-eligible forward.
