Chelsea Are In The Mix To Recruit This Brentford Striker: Should Alonso Bring Him On Board?
In a recent report , journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Chelsea are in the mix to recruit Brentford striker Igor Thiago this summer. It is believed that the Blues are facing competition from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign the Brazilian forward in this transfer window.
Thiago’s Impressive Form In English Football
Thiago enjoyed a decent run of form at the English club in the previous campaign when he put in a run of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Brazilian centre-forward banged in 22 goals and registered one assist in 38 league appearances for Brentford last season.
The 25-year-old is currently one of the most feared strikers in the Premier League . Hence, it is no wonder that the Blues are showing interest in signing him this off-season.
His current contract with Brentford will expire in the summer of 2031, which could make it tough for Chelsea to land him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Should Chelsea Boss Xabi Alonso Bring Thiago On Board?
Thiago excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal and can strike the ball with power and accuracy from long range. He is usually quite clever with his movements on the offensive end of the field and can even engineer the odd chance for his teammates to find the back of the net.
The Brazilian striker has proven his worth as a consistent goal-scorer in the Premier League. He won’t take much time to adjust to life at Chelsea if they can devise a way to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer.
We can expect Thiago to add a lot of goals to Xabi Alonso’s frontline. He is good enough to nail down a regular first-team spot at the West London club next season.
At 25, Thiago has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a great choice for the Blues to pursue in this transfer window. He will also help Chelsea get back to challenging for a top-four spot in the Premier League. Thus, Alonso should focus on trying everything in his power to bring the Brazilian forward on board before the end of this month.
