Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for the Porto striker Samu Aghehowa.
The Spaniard has been linked with the North London club for several months, and he is a top target for them. According to a report from TeamTalk, Tottenham wanted to sign the player in January, and he has a £70 million release clause in his contract.
Spurs to miss out on January move for Samu Aghehowa?
However, the Portuguese outfit is not keen on losing him in the middle of the season. They have held crunch talks with the striker, and it seems that they have convinced him to stay at the club until the end of the season.
The report further claims that Tottenham have already completed background work on the player, and they have a strong interest in him. It will be interesting to see if they agree to wait until the summer transfer window in order to sign the player. There is no doubt that they need more quality in the attacking unit, and a reliable striker could make a huge difference for them during the second half of the season.
Spurs need Aghehowa
Aghehowa is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a top-class Premier League striker. He has the physicality and technical attributes to adapt to English football, and he could prove to be an upgrade on the current options at Tottenham. Aghehowa has 13 goals in 22 matches this season, and he bagged 27 goals last season.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decides to trigger his release clause next month. Even though the player seems happy to continue at Porto for now, there is no reason why he cannot be tempted if there is a lucrative proposal on the table. Tottenham could offer him a prominent role at a high level and the opportunity to fight for trophies.
