Porto striker Samu Aghehowa has become one of the hottest young prospects in European football this season, with several Premier League clubs — including Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal — keeping a close watch on his development.

The 21-year-old Spaniard has been in outstanding form, earning plaudits for his blistering pace, sharp positioning, and intelligent finishing.

His performances have not only boosted Porto’s domestic campaign but also turned him into a top target for clubs across England and Spain.

Spurs showing the strongest intent in Samu Aghehowa

According to reports, Tottenham are currently the most serious contenders for Aghehowa’s signature. Sporting director Fabio Paratici is a huge admirer of the versatile striker, who can operate both as a central forward and from the wings.

With Dominic Solanke sidelined through injury, Spurs have discussed a potential short-term move with an option to buy — though Porto’s valuation remains a major sticking point.

The Portuguese club have inserted a €100 million release clause in Aghehowa’s contract and are reluctant to negotiate below that figure.

However, insiders suggest that financial pressures could force Porto to reconsider if a large enough offer is made.

Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have also sent scouts to monitor his recent performances in the league and Europe, while Newcastle United maintain a distant interest after exploring a summer move that ultimately didn’t materialize.

For now, Aghehowa remains focused on Porto’s campaign and has publicly dismissed talk of a January transfer. Yet with his stock rising fast and interest mounting, the young forward could be at the center of one of next year’s biggest transfer battles.
