Could a star striker from FC Porto be heading to the Premier League? Rumours are swirling that several English clubs are vying for the signature of 21-year-old Samu Aghehowa. The Spanish forward has been in impressive form, attracting attention from top teams.
Chelsea & Spurs in Transfer Battle?
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly shown strong interest in Aghehowa. Chelsea were previously linked with him in 2024, but a deal fell through. Now, both London clubs could be set for a transfer battle. But they are not alone in the race.
Forest Eyes Porto Striker
Nottingham Forest are also reportedly monitoring Aghehowa, alongside Arsenal and Newcastle United. Forest have struggled for goals this season, making a striker a priority. Caught Offside reports that Forest have been scouting the player. It remains to be seen whether the club will put in a bid when the January transfer window opens.
Porto Willing to Sell?
Reports suggest that Porto might be willing to sell Aghehowa in January due to financial pressures. Although his release clause is €100 million, Porto President Andre Villas-Boas might accept an offer of €80 million. The club feels they have sufficient cover in the striker position, making a sale more palatable.
What's Next?
The January transfer window promises to be an exciting one, especially for fans of these Premier League clubs. Will Aghehowa make the move to England? And which team will secure his services? Only time will tell. Bafana Bafana fans will be watching closely to see if any South African players get involved in these high-profile transfers.
