Tottenham, Chelsea Target ‘Irresistible Deal’ from President
FC Porto striker Samu Aghehowa has emerged as a significant target for Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. The 21-year-old forward joined FC Porto from Atlético Madrid in August 2024 and had an impressive debut season, scoring 27 goals and providing three assists. This season, he has continued his fine form with nine goals in just 11 matches.
Interest from Premier League Giants
Interest in Aghehowa intensified after he was previously linked with a move to England last summer. Although that transfer did not materialize, both Tottenham and Chelsea are now actively monitoring his progress.
- Age: 21 years
- Debut Season Goals: 27
- Current Season Goals: 9 in 11 matches
- Contract Duration: Until 2029
- Release Clause: €100 million
Porto’s President Open to a Sale
André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, has indicated he would consider an offer for Aghehowa in the upcoming winter transfer market. Reports suggest that while the player’s release clause stands at €100 million, Porto would be willing to accept €80 million for what they consider an ‘irresistible deal.’
Villas-Boas’s decision to potentially sell stems from financial pressures facing the club. However, he believes that the club’s current squad is well-equipped to manage Aghehowa’s departure, as they have confidence in their ability to find a suitable replacement.
Future Speculations
As Tottenham and Chelsea continue to track Aghehowa, no concrete advances have been reported as of yet. It remains unclear whether either club will make a formal offer when the transfer window opens.
With both clubs seeking to strengthen their attacking options, Aghehowa’s performance in the coming months will undoubtedly influence their decisions. Football fans eagerly await updates on this intriguing potential transfer.
