Report: Chelsea ready to make 87m move for striker who has eight goals this season

"Chelsea are once again preparing to flex their financial muscle in the transfer market, with reports in Portugal suggesting that the Premier League club are readying a blockbuster offer for one of Europe's brightest young forwards. According to Fichajes, the Blues are planning a bid worth 87 million for FC Porto striker Samu Agehowa next summer as part of their long-term plan to rebuild their attack and secure a prolific goal scorer for the future. The 21-year-old Spaniard has quickly established himself as one of the hottest properties in European football, and his continued rise is drawing serious attention from Stamford Bridge."

"In his debut season in Portugal, Agehowa scored an impressive 25 goals across all competitions. This season, his form has been even more spectacular. Agehowa has already found the back of the net eight times in just nine appearances, showcasing not only his clinical finishing but also his growing maturity as a leading striker. The Premier League side view him as the ideal centre-forward to spearhead their attack."

"Chelsea were interested in Samu Aghehowa in 2024 Agehowa's name has been on Chelsea's radar for quite some time. The London club came close to landing the talented forward in the summer of 2024, when he was still at Atletico Madrid, but negotiations broke down late in the window. Instead, Porto swooped in to secure his signature, a move that has since proven to be a masterstroke."

Chelsea plan an €87 million bid next summer for 21-year-old Samu Agehowa of FC Porto as part of a long-term attack rebuild to secure a prolific centre-forward. Agehowa moved to Porto after a late-window transfer failed in 2024 when Chelsea nearly signed him from Atletico Madrid. He scored 25 goals in his debut season in Portugal and has eight goals in nine appearances this season, showing clinical finishing and growing maturity. Porto face no selling pressure with Agehowa under contract until June 2029. Chelsea added Joao Pedro and Liam Delap but still seek added attacking depth.
