Tottenham face summer revamp as Champions League hopes hang in the balance
Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a splintered season under Ange Postecoglou, but irrespective of the recent blitz, they still remain contenders to secure the UEFA Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign. Meanwhile, Daniel Levy and his officials are planning the proceeding for the summer transfer window as the Australian gaffer demands change.
The former Celtic coach has acknowledged his Spurs squad “has to change” ahead of what is anticipated to be a busy transfer window at White Hart Lane. The club is preparing for a summer clearout, with multiple players anticipated to be sold to initiate the change, per Telegraph.
The Lilywhites midfield is about to undergo a major revamp as veteran Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is set to bid adieu to White Hart Lane. Joining the Dane midfielder in a move away from the North Londoners could be the Brazilian duo of Emerson Royal and Richarlison, as the club is prepared to hear offers for both players this summer.
Despite his contributions, Richarlison faces uncertain future
Richarlison has been a phenomenon under Ange Postecoglou this season. When fit, he has caused chaos in the opponent’s defensive line. His impact in front of goal has been equally massive, having scored ten Premier League goals this season alongside laying three assists for his teammates.
The Brazilian striker, albeit, will face competition from incomings as Tottenham are set to invest massively in a marquee forward, which could limit the impact and game time for the 26-year-old. This could eventually lead Spurs to sell the former Everton ace.
This season, Ange Postecoglou has preferred playing Richarlison up front when fit. He understands the impact that the Brazilian number nine makes for the team, but he also acknowledges that the project may be moving past him.
