TOTTENHAM HAVE TOLD THEIR SENIOR PLAYER HE IS NO LONGER PART OF THEIR PLANS AND THEY WANT HIM GONE THIS SUMMER

Tottenham Hotspur star is attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League.

According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur are facing a potential striker crisis as Saudi clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiah have registered interest in their forward Richarlison. With the Saudi Pro League ready to make substantial offers for the Brazilian international, Spurs are preparing for the possibility of the departure of a player who cost them £60 million. This potential exit would make Tottenham’s search for a new striker even more urgent.

Son Heung-min, another key player for Tottenham, has also attracted attention from Saudi clubs. However, the Spurs captain has ruled out a move, with the club set to trigger a one-year extension that will keep him at Tottenham until 2026. Despite Al-Ahli’s interest, Son remains committed to staying in North London, at least for the foreseeable future. Whether the same will repeat for Richarlison remains to be seen.

The Brazilian is a formidable presence upfront, but it is debatable if he has thrived at Tottenham. He has largely failed to live up to expectations since arriving from Everton in a £60 million deal, and replacing him with a more potent striker might not be the worst option for the Lilywhites.

Replacement Options for Spurs
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is considering several options to bolster the club’s attacking line. One potential target is Jonathan David, the Canadian striker from Lille, who is in the final year of his contract and could be available for around £25 million. David has long been on Tottenham’s radar.But they could face stiff competition from Chelsea, West Ham United, and Newcastle United.

Additionally, Spurs are monitoring Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez as a possible addition to their squad. Despite rumours, sources have denied that Tottenham have made bids for Brentford’s Ivan Toney or Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke. The North Londoners are keen to ensure they secure the right player to fill any potential gaps left by Richarlison’s departure.

A new challenge

If Richarlison decides to move to the Saudi Pro League, Al-Ittihad could be the more attractive option given its history in the sport and the squad at its disposal. Joining a club with such ambition could provide Richarlison with a new challenge and an opportunity to be a key player in a rising league.

While Tottenham must act swiftly to address any gaps in their attacking lineup, the move for Richarlison to Al-Ittihad seems mutually beneficial. The significant financial offer from the Saudi side, combined with their competitive aspirations, makes this an appealing destination for the Brazilian forward. On the other hand, Tottenham could reinvest the transfer fee to secure a promising replacement, ensuring the club remains competitive in the Premier League.
