Porto’s Samu Omorodion put in an eye-catching display against Man United on Thursday night and Tottenham scouts were in Portugal to witness the striker net a brace against their Premier League rivals.
Porto and Man United played out a thriller as part of the league phase of their UEFA Europa League campaigns with Harry Maguire heading in a last-minute equaliser to earn Erik ten Hag’s men a 3-3 draw in Portugal.

The 20-year-old signed a deal in Portugal until 2029, but that will not stop Premier League clubs from making their move if his current run of form continues.
