Chelsea, Spurs in race for Porto striker Samu Aghehowa

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur
November 2025

After 27 goals last season and nine in 11 this term, Porto’s 21-year-old Aghehowa is drawing bids. Chelsea’s 2024 move collapsed on a failed medical after an ankle injury.

Risk centers on prior ankle issues and small sample of elite-tier matches. Chelsea seek a vertical runner; Spurs want a Kane-style connector replacement. Pricing and medical thresholds will decide the race; structure add-ons to hedge durability and adaptation.
