Richarlison, a striker for Tottenham Hotspur, has come under fire for his subpar play since joining the team from Everton.
According to a Daily Telegraph report, Saudi Pro League teams are eager to sign Tottenham’s striker Richarlison and may now try to give him a way out.
Although Richarlison only managed to score three goals the previous season, he has already scored twice this season in all competitions. Tottenham expected him to be a star for them after spending £60 million on him. However, the former Everton striker has just not been able to produce on a regular basis. This season, he was supposed to step up and cover for Harry Kane. However, Son Heung-min, a South Korean national, has had to take on the majority of Tottenham’s goal-scoring duties due to the Brazilian international’s dismal play.
Due to an injury, the 26-year-old is currently out of commission. It is unclear if Tottenham will choose to sign a replacement in January or try to cash in on him. It is obvious that they will need to bring in a consistent goal scorer, and parting with Richarlison may help to finance a striker acquisition.
Tottenham will have to cut their losses on the player because it is extremely unlikely that they will be able to recoup the £60 million they paid for him. With his time at Tottenham thus far, Richarlison will be utterly disappointed, and he will be eager to restart his career.
He will want to establish himself at Tottenham and save his future at the North London team. Whether the Premier League team will tolerate him in the upcoming months is still to be seen.
If Tottenham hopes to have a successful season finale, they will need to increase the number of goals they score. They can’t afford to depend solely on Son to score goals for the team at this time. It’s interesting to note that the 26-year-old turned down a transfer to Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window.
Tottenham has had a strong start to the season, and they have a chance to qualify for the Champions League if they make the right additions in January. In the meantime, Richarlison would receive the much-needed fresh start and greater income opportunities by relocating to Saudi Arabia. In the upcoming months, it will be interesting to see if the Brazilian international is prepared to go on a new journey.
