Chelsea scouts are closely monitoring 20-year-old FC Porto striker Samu Aghehowa—who has already netted 18 goals this season—as the club remains keen on bolstering its forward line after a near miss last summer.
According to reports from TBR Football, Chelsea have resumed their interest in striker Samu Aghehowa, sending scouts to observe him during FC Porto’s 1-1 draw with Sporting CP. The 20-year-old, who almost joined the Blues for £34.5m last summer before the deal fell through, has since impressed with his performances at Porto. Although he did not score in the recent match, Aghehowa assisted the late equaliser, and his season tally now stands at 18 goals and three assists. His dynamic style and ability to create chances have drawn comparisons to Diego Costa, making him a highly attractive target for manager Enzo Maresca’s side as they look to strengthen their striking options ahead of the summer transfer window.
In addition to Aghehowa, Chelsea are also keeping tabs on Sporting CP forward Conrad Harder, a 19-year-old with 11 goals and seven assists, who is emerging as a potential heir to Viktor Gyokeres. These scouting efforts underscore the club’s determination to address the shortcomings in their attack—further amplified by calls from figures such as John Obi Mikel to upgrade the current forward line. With Aghehowa’s near-signing last summer still fresh in the minds of supporters and a successful track record at Porto, Chelsea remain keen to secure his services to add depth and cutting edge to their squad.
