"The Brazilian forward has been a revelation in the Premier League this season, scoring 17 goals in 26 appearances to emerge as the main challenger to City front-man Erling Haaland in the race for the Golden Boot."
"Igor Thiago could be a crucial signing for Chelsea It's not necessarily easy to see how Thiago could play regularly at City due to the presence of Haaland up front, but the 24-year-old could make a huge impact at Chelsea. Igor Thiago in action for Brentford against Arsenal (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) The Blues have made a series of questionable striker signings in recent times, with Nicolas Jackson now out on loan, while Liam Delap continues to struggle. Delap has just one Premier League goal for Chelsea so far, and although Joao Pedro has performed well, the west London giants could perhaps do with another option in that area of their squad as well. Thiago looks ideal for the Chelsea model as he's still young enough that he surely hasn't hit his peak yet, but would also already arrive having proved himself at the highest level."
Igor Thiago has scored 17 Premier League goals in 26 appearances and totals 18 goals and one assist in all competitions. Brentford recently signed him to a new contract. Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly monitoring him as a summer transfer target. Regular playing time at Manchester City appears uncertain because of Erling Haaland's presence. Chelsea have had limited success with recent striker options and could use another forward alongside Joao Pedro. Thiago combines youth with proven Premier League performance, making him an attractive long-term signing for clubs seeking attacking reinforcements.
