Igor Thiago Tops Chelsea's Interest List

Monday 18-05-2026
Chelsea has identified Brazilian striker Igor Thiago, a player from Brentford, as one of its top attacking targets during the summer transfer window, coinciding with Xabi Alonso's imminent appointment as the team's head coach.

The "TEAMtalk" website confirmed that signing a new striker remains a priority for the London club, as the management wishes to strengthen the front line with a player capable of leading the team in the competition for titles.

Chelsea's interest in signing Thiago comes after his impressive performance with Brentford this season, where he scored 22 goals in the Premier League, making him a contender for the Player of the Season award.

The report indicated that Chelsea's management sees the Brazilian striker as the suitable offensive solution, especially with ongoing doubts about the readiness of some current strikers to consistently lead the team.

On the other hand, Brentford is keen on retaining their player and may demand a substantial sum of money to agree to his departure last summer.
