27 goals last season: Tottenham serious candidates to sign €100m Olympic gold medalist

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Spanish striker Samu Aghehowa. 

The 21-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has been prolific since the move to Porto. He scored 27 goals last season, and he’s regarded as one of the finest young talents in European football.

According to Fichajes, Tottenham have now emerged as serious candidates to sign. They have placed him on the priority list. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done.

Porto will not want to lose a player like him midway through the campaign, and the move might have to wait until the summer transfer window. Tottenham need another reliable striker. Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals consistently, and Randal Kolo Muani is a temporary addition.

The Spanish striker could be the ideal long-term investment for them. He has shown his quality in the Portuguese league, and he helped Spain win a gold medal in the Olympics recently. He has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could develop into a future star for the north London club.

Signing the player will not be a cheap acquisition. He has a €100 million release clause in his contract. In addition to that, Aston Villa, Newcastle and West Ham are also interested in the player. Porto will be hoping for a bidding war for their star striker.

They will be looking to recoup as much as possible for the young attacker. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a reasonable deal for him. The player could be attracted to the idea of joining them. It would be a major step up in his career, and regular football in England could accelerate his development.
