Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.
Saudi Arabian clubs were keen on signing the Brazilian international during the summer transfer window, but a report from Premier League Brasil claims that Tottenham have already spoken to the striker regarding his future and they do not intend to accept offers for him in the coming weeks. The player has also indicated that he has no intentions to leave the club and he wants to continue.
Richarlison was criticised heavily last season for his poor performances after a big-money move from Everton. He has shown improvement this season and the Brazilian has 12 goals across all competitions. Tottenham will still expect him to score goals consistently and fill the void left by Harry Kane.
It will be interesting to see if the 27-year-old can continue to improve and establish himself as a quality player for Tottenham. The North London outfit paid a substantial amount of money for him, and they will hope that he can develop into one of the best attackers in the country.
The Brazilian overall game has always been very impressive, but he needs to find the back of the net regularly. Spurs are currently missing a reliable goalscorer and if Richarlison fails to fill the void, they will have to look for other options in the transfer market. Signing another striker will only push the South American forward down the pecking order and he might struggle for regular game time.
It will be interesting to see if Saudi Arabian clubs are willing to test Tottenham’s resolve with an offer in the coming weeks, regardless of the player’s stance.
