Chelsea targets Brentford striker Igor Thiago as the club shifts focus after Samu Aghehowa’s move from Porto stalls. Previously linked to Chelsea before joining Brentford, Thiago is in stellar form this season with 18 goals in 29 Premier League matches, ranking second in the league behind Erling Haaland. While six goals are penalties, his overall performance remains impressive. Reports indicate Chelsea plans to make a summer bid for the 24-year-old, amidst strong interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Brentford is hesitant to part ways with Thiago, recognizing his 'world-class' potential and value. Meanwhile, Porto's Samu, recovering from ACL surgery, is off Chelsea's radar for now. Chelsea has also secured Emmanuel Emegha from Strasbourg but faces concerns over his injury status. With Nicolas Jackson likely to leave and Joao Pedro excelling, Chelsea is keen to bolster their striker options, with Thiago at the forefront.
