Chelsea weigh up €90 million move for Igor Thiago

Brentford striker Igor Thiago has been linked with a summer move away from the West London club, with several high-profile clubs interested in him.

Igor Thiago is in spectacular form, having scored 25 goals across all competitions. The Brazilian striker has consistently shown his quality in the Premier League amid his chase for the Golden Boot this season, and he is good enough to play for a bigger club.

Chelsea are interested in securing his signature, and they will face competition from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. The 24-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining a bigger club in the summer. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decide to come forward with an offer for him.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea may offer €90 million to sign the South American striker in the coming months. They need to add more goals to the team, and Thiago would be an excellent investment. He could prove to be an upgrade on Liam Delap, who has found the back of the net just once in the Premier League this season. They need to replace the Englishman in the summer, and Thiago would be an ideal signing.

Manchester United and Tottenham also want Thiago

On the other hand, Manchester United have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they need to add more quality to the team. They should look to add another reliable striker who can share the goalscoring burden with Benjamin Sesko.

Joshua Zirkzee has failed to make his mark since arriving from Bologna, and a summer departure may be on the horizon for the Dutch attacker. The 24-year-old Brentford striker is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford, thus explaining their interest in him.

Finally, Tottenham are monitoring his progress as well. Dominic Solanke has been underwhelming since arriving from Bournemouth, and Spurs need more goals. Randal Kolo Muani will leave the club when his loan deal expires.

Tottenham are in desperate need of a reliable striker who can find the back of the net regularly. Thiago would be an excellent option for them, but he is likely to be an expensive target. Also, clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United might be more attractive destinations for the player. Tottenham are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and the striker might prefer to join a club where he can fight for trophies next season.
