Tottenham Hotspur are big fans of a budding young centre-forward and an exciting teenage midfielder, but Chelsea are also in the race for both players in January.
Over the past couple of months, several outlets have claimed that signing a number nine is a priority for Tottenham in January.
However, it remains to be seen if that remains the case now, given that Richarlison is back among the goals, Randal Kolo Muani is now fit and firing, while Dominic Solanke is edging closer to a return to action.
If Spurs do decide to sign a striker, one young Porto star appears to be at the top of their wishlist. It has been widely reported that Tottenham are keeping tabs on Samu Aghehowa, who has been prolific since his switch to Portugal.
Chelsea are planning to raid Porto for Tottenham target Samu Aghehowa
Just a few days ago, it was reported by Sky Sports that the Lilywhites are planning to launch a concrete offer for Aghehowa, who is viewed as an ‘ideal number nine’ by Thomas Frank.
However, a new report in TEAMtalk has now claimed that Chelsea are now ready to launch a raid for the Spain international ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
It is said that with Spurs lurking, the Blues are ready to accelerate their plans to avoid missing out on the 21-year-old.
