Following a successful Olympics run, head coach Luis de la Fuente’s who has reportedly been monitoring the 20 year old striker is willing to include him in his next international set-up ahead of Nigeria.
The reports further revealed that Nigeria had earlier reached out to him about a potential switch to the national team but met with a stall from the player's camp according to Football Espana.
Although Omorodion's parents are from Nigeria, he has represented Spain at various youth levels and secured a gold medal with the Spanish team, making it increasingly probable that he will continue to play for La Roja.
