Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Samu Aghehowa from FC Porto in the coming months.
Chelsea are interested in securing a signature as well, and the two London clubs are currently in the lead as per reports via SportWitness.
It will be interesting to see if either of them can sign the 21-year-old striker in the coming months. He is a talented player with a bright future, and he could develop into a top-class Premier League goal scorer with the right guidance. He has already found the back of the net 11 times in 14 matches this season. He has shown his quality with Porto last season as well.
Spurs could use Samu Aghehowa
Tottenham are in desperate need of another quality goal scorer, and the Spanish striker would be ideal for them. He could compete with Dominic Solanke for the starting spot. The England International has not been able to find the back of the net regularly.
More competition for places will help them improve as a team and fight for major trophies.
Do Chelsea need Aghehowa?
Meanwhile, Chelsea have already invested in two strikers, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to make a move for Aghehowa. It seems that Tottenham might have an advantage in the race. The striker will want to join a club where he will play regularly, and he will be reluctant to move to Chelsea, where there are two strikers ahead of him in the pecking order.
The report claims that €80 million (£70m) could get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay. They have the resources to get the deal across the line.
Aghehowa is a young player with a bright future, and he could end up justifying the outlay in future.
