Richarlison has endured yet another difficult campaign, with the majority of his season spent on the sidelines owing to consistent injury concerns that have started to grow frustrations among chiefs at White Hart Lane, and Tottenham Hotspur could be looking to move on from the Brazilian forward when the season comes to a close.

The 27-year-old signed for the Lilywhites in what was a highly anticipated move from Goodison Park for £60m; however, he hasn’t been able to replicate his form donning the Everton badge in North London.

Now with Dominic Solanke injured, Richy had a perfect opportunity to prove his credentials, and Ange Postecoglou gave him that opportunity in the Lilywhites’ 4-0 loss against Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals last week. While the Brazil international started the game up front, he was forced to come off with another injury problem.

Richarlison running out of time at Tottenham

Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has expressed his concern about Richarlison’s future, indicating that only the high-spending Middle Eastern league, the Saudi Pro League, looks like a probable destination for the 27-year-old.

Speaking in an interview on Talksport, Deeney said:

“I think he is going to have to leave, because where does he go? It’s sad to say, but if you haven’t done it at Spurs, he’s probably going to end up going Saudi, somewhere like that.

“[He can] make a few quid for himself, but he needs to stay fit and available. It’s a shame because he’s a good player, he’s a very good boy and a nice lad.”

Saudi or no Saudi, Richy is definitely testing the waters at Hotspur Way and is running out of time to salvage his career at Tottenham. With the addition of Mathys Tel in the winter window (and Postecoglou hinting that Spurs will possibly sign the Frenchman on a permanent deal) complemented by Levy’s pursuit of another centre forward in the off-season, it could aggregate into curtains for Richy’s time in North London.
