Samu Aghehowa continues to be linked with a move away from Porto.
The 21-year-old Spanish attacker has done quite well for the Portuguese club, and he is on the radar of Tottenham and Chelsea. The London club have been on his trail for quite some time, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the summer.
Samu Aghehowa is in fine form
The player has 20 goals to his name this season and could transform Tottenham’s attack. He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could make an immediate impact.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs come forward with an offer to sign him.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea is also serious about signing the player. They could use an upgrade on Liam Delap, who has been ineffective since joining the club.
Dominic Solanke has not been prolific enough at Tottenham, and they need more attacking options. Signing a reliable striker could make a huge difference for them. Aghehowa could be the ideal acquisition for them.
Francesco Farioli has described him as a team player as well.
“He has all the characteristics to be (and is) a top number 9. He’s a player we always want to support. His desire to score goals never clashes with our collective goal of winning games as a team, especially because when it’s time to provide an assist, he does it.”
Can Spurs sign Aghehowa?
Meanwhile, the striker has a long-term contract with Porto, and the club is under no pressure to sell. They could demand a premium for him. It will be interesting to see whether Tottenham is willing to pay a substantial amount for him.
It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they are in the mid-table positions. They are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification next season. That could be a major problem when it comes to attracting top-quality players. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the Spanish striker to join.
Aghehowa might prefer to join a club where he can regularly experience Champions League football and compete for major trophies.
