Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly reluctant to sell Richarlison in January due to his recent upturn in form.
Richarlison has enjoyed a run in the Tottenham side of late following his return from injury earlier this month.
The 26-year-old underwent surgery at the start of November and has made a huge impact on his return to the side.
Indeed, he’s netted three goals in his last two games, helping himself to a brace against Newcastle before bagging the opener at Nottingham Forest on Friday.
And off the back of a decent run of form, Spurs want to keep hold of the forward amid interest from Saudi Arabia.
Tottenham want to keep Richarlison
The Daily Mail reports that Spurs are aware of interest in Richarlison from the Saudi Pro League.
The former Everton striker received interest from Al Ittihad after their move for Mohamed Salah broke down over the summer.
But it’s noted that Spurs ‘would be loath to lose him’ after he’s rediscovered his confidence in front of goal.
Richarlison struggled during the early stages of the campaign after he started as Ange Postecoglou’s main man up front.
He quickly lost his place to Heung-Min Son in the side and was mainly limited to appearances off the left-hand side thereafter.
Yet, he’s come back in as Tottenham’s number nine over the past two games, with Son moving out wide.
And it’s fair to say that Richarlison has made dramatic improvements since returning from injury.
The 26-year-old provides Spurs with a focal point in the penalty area and a tireless runner up front.
His long-term future at Tottenham remains unclear as Postecoglou will be looking to improve his squad. But it would make little sense for Spurs to offload the Brazil star next month.
