A third source has confirmed Tottenham\u2019s interest in signing a Spanish striker and the new update states a January transfer can be made if Spurs bid \u20ac80m.<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s mark of 17 goals in 10 Premier League games is not to be sniffed at, though those actually watching their matches can see there are issues in attack.<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s fair comment to say Thomas Frank is currently without two of his most effective attackers due to injury (James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski), it\u2019s also fair to say those that are playing right now aren\u2019t performing.<\/p>\n
The striker position is proving particularly troublesome for Frank. Loanee Randal Kolo Muani is yet to bag a single goal or assist in England.<\/p>\n
Richarlison\u2019s early-season form has subsided and the Brazilian has largely been used off the bench of late. Dominic Solanke continues to spend a frustrating amount of time on the treatment table.<\/p>\n
As such, Tottenham<\/a> are understood to be on the lookout for a potent new striker in 2026. They retain interest in bringing Harry Kane back from Bayern Munich, but whether the veteran frontman wants to return is another matter entirely.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Tottenham \u2018desperate\u2019 to sign Harry Kane as shock transfer battle with Barcelona dramatically ignites \u2013 report<\/a><\/p>\n Instead, various outlets and sources including CaughtOffside<\/a> and our own Dean Jones<\/a> have confirmed Spurs are circling over FC Porto\u2019s Samu Aghehowa.<\/p>\n The Spain international, 21, has bagged nine goals in 12 appearances this term to bring his overall tally for the club to 36 goals in 57 matches.<\/p>\n And according to the latest from Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha (as cited by Goal<\/a>), Porto are ready to sell Aghehowa in January.<\/p>\n Tottenham won\u2019t have to pay release clause<\/p>\n Aghehowa\u2019s existing deal with Porto contains a release clause worth \u20ac100m \/ \u00a387.8m. But while prior reports have stated Porto would demand that clause be triggered, the latest update claims they\u2019re willing to sell for \u20ac20m less.<\/p>\n It\u2019s stated Andre Villas-Boas \u2013 who serves as Porto\u2019s president \u2013 considers \u20ac80m not only a fair price, but an \u2018irresistible deal.\u2019<\/p>\n The model at Portugal\u2019s big three clubs relies on generating huge profits from the sales of their best players and Aghehowa\u2019s exit is inevitable, the only question is when.<\/p>\n A January exit is more than possible, with Villas-Boas believing the club will be able to sign a worthy replacement with the money from Aghehowa\u2019s sale in the same window.<\/p>\n As such, all eyes are on whether Tottenham firm up their interest and table a bid. At \u20ac80m, Aghehowa would become Spurs\u2019 record signing, surpassing Solanke.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Top 10 most expensive Tottenham signings ever after Mohammed Kudus arrival<\/a><\/p>\n Latest Tottenham news \u2013 Xavi Simons \/ New winger\u2026<\/p>\n In other news, the early verdict is in on summer signing Xavi Simons and it\u2019s a brutal one<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, reports state Tottenham are hopeful of pulling off a serious coup by signing Bournemouth\u2019s Antoine Semenyo in 2026.<\/p>\n
