Chelsea have reportedly entered the hunt to sign Brentford striker Igor Thiago, with the west London club prepared to battle rivals for one of the Premier League’s most coveted forwards ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 24‑year‑old Brazilian has been one of the major revelations of the 2025–26 Premier League season. Having signed a new long‑term contract with Brentford that runs until 2031, with a club option for an additional year.
While Chelsea have a number of attacking figures on their books, none have consistently delivered the sort of returns that Thiago has produced, and that has reportedly placed him high on the Stamford Bridge club’s wishlist.
CHELSEA ’s reported interest adds a significant chapter to what had already been a crowded transfer story surrounding Thiago. Alongside the Blues, Manchester City and Bayern Munich have been linked with the striker, according to multiple reports — a testament to his rapidly rising profile in European football circles.
Even before Chelsea’s involvement, Brentford’s decision to extend Thiago’s contract was seen as a proactive measure to both reward his performances and protect his market value. The lengthy new deal guarantees that any club looking to secure his services in the future will likely have to meet a significant transfer fee.
Thiago’s impact this season goes beyond mere statistics. He has combined power and pace with clinical finishing, and his performances have made him one of the standout Premier League players under the radar of many casual observers.

What a season Thiago is having at Brentford, could you imagine the goals that he could score if a move to CHELSEA would make. The only issue i have about this potential move is the fact that this is his first season in the Premier League, and Brentford are playing to his strengths.
That may not happen here and he could potentially struggle.
