"The 21-year-old has been prolific at Porto, finding the back of the net 36 times in 60 games in total, having also previously caught the eye when he was on loan at Alaves from Atletico Madrid. Chelsea tried to sign Aghehowa before he joined Porto, and it seems they're continuing to keep an eye on his situation. Sources also mentioned Newcastle to me, though their interest is now felt to have cooled after they signed both Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa this summer."
"Porto are described by one source as being firm on Aghehowa's 100m release clause, but another source suggested they might be flexible and accept more like 90m. It's a bit early to know for sure how this will pan out, but it certainly makes sense that the Spain international is unlikely to come cheap after performing so well at such a young age."
Tottenham lead interest in Porto striker Samu Aghehowa, with Arsenal and Chelsea also linked. The 21-year-old has scored 36 goals in 60 games for Porto and impressed previously on loan at Alaves from Atletico Madrid. Chelsea tried to sign him before his Porto move. Newcastle showed early interest but that has cooled after signings of Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa. Spurs have struggled this season and could seek a long-term attacking upgrade, while Arsenal are considering alternatives to injury-prone forwards Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. Porto value Aghehowa highly, citing a €100m release clause but may consider offers around €90m.
