'I'm staying' - Samu Aghehowa celebration after scoring brace for Porto
Spanish striker Samu Aghehowa, who is wanted by Newcastle and Aston Villa, scored twice for Porto and sent a clear signal to fans that he will remain with the Portuguese club.
Samu Aghehowa started the 2025-26 season with a bang. The Spanish striker, who is on the radar of clubs such as Newcastle and Aston Villa, among others, was the star of Porto's victory over Vitória Guimaraes in the league opener.
The Dragons' striker came on after half an hour to score his team's second goal. Pepe found the Ceuta-born player inside the box and the Spanish striker made an impressive leap to head the ball straight into the back of the net.
Samu then approached the corner flag to look at the stands and kissed the club's crest, but that wasn't all. He also pointed downwards, indicating that he is staying with the Lisbon-based team.
The striker wanted to put an end to the latest rumours linking him with Newcastle, who were reportedly interested in signing the Spaniard as a replacement for Isak in the Magpies' attack.
The Porto No 9's involvement in the match did not end there, as he left his mark in the final stages with the second goal of the night. Eustáquio struck from outside the box, the goalkeeper parried it, and the striker capitalised on the rebound to make it 3-0 with ease.
