Tottenham Hotspur ready to listen to offers for Richarlison
According to Football.London, Tottenham Hotspur are open to offers for Richarlison this summer. The Brazilian striker has expressed a desire to continue with Spurs, but there is strong interest in him from Saudi Arabia.
Richarlison made 31 appearances this season, recording 12 goals and four assists. He also missed 12 games due to three separate injuries, with Son Heung-Min often filling in for the Brazilian striker during his absences.
Tottenham paid £60 million to sign the Brazilian back in 2022. However, the 27-year-old has largely failed to live up to his price tag. So far, he has made just 66 appearances for Tottenham, recording 15 goals and eight assists.
Spurs need someone to do the job that Harry Kane did with the most minimum of fuss. If Tottenham can add a reliable striker to their lineup this summer, their fortunes may completely turn around next season.
Ange Postecoglou led the post-Harry Kane Spurs to a top-five finish this past season. The team missed out on Champions League football by just two points. If they had a reliable striker to depend on, the Spurs might have achieved even greater things.
Unfortunately for Richarlison, it doesn’t seem like he’s going to make the cut any time soon. He’s impressive when he’s fit, but his inconsistency has contributed to Tottenham’s struggles. Given that we need an infallible goalscorer, Richarlison falls well short of that expectation.
If Richarlison does end up staying for next season, he will need to step his game up a lot. Another underwhelming season will be more than enough for Tottenham to call time on Richarlison.

For Tottenham to build on their top-five finish and challenge for higher honours, securing a reliable striker is paramount. While Richarlison has shown glimpses of his potential, his inconsistency and injury history make it necessary for the club to look for other options. Investing in a proven goal-scorer could be the key to transforming Tottenham’s fortunes.
