Saudi club have let Tottenham know about their interest in attacker; expected to make a move soon – report

By Mehdi Gokal -

Tottenham have been actively seeking a new number 9 this summer, to fill the void left by Harry Kane.

Spurs have targeted several strikers as they search for both a buyer for Richarlison and a high-profile replacement.

Initially, the Brazilian dismissed reports of him being linked with a move away, but has recently said to have a change of heart with reports suggesting that the player himself has informed Saudi clubs of his willingness to a move.

According to The Times, Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli have shown the most interest in the Brazilian international.

As per the report, the Saudi club has indicated their interest in signing the former Everton man to the North London club.

Another report from Saudi outlet, Al-Riyadiah has reported the same and stated that the Jeddah based club has made Richarlison their top target.

The mega rich Saudi club have expressed a desire to sign Richarlison, with Tottenham valuing him at around £60 million. Despite Richarlison having three years left on his contract, which runs until 2027, Spurs are eager to sell him due to dissatisfaction with his inconsistency.

Richarlison joined the Lilywhites in the summer of 2022 in a high-profile deal worth £60 million. However, he has failed to make a substantial impact at the club. He scored only one league goal in his debut season

And he continued his poor form in the start of last season, failing to score in the first four games and dealing with personal issues.

But his form improved after he dealt with a longstanding injury,  ending the season with 11 goals and four assists in 28 Premier League appearances. However, injuries and inconsistency continued to affect his performance in the latter part of the campaign.

As Tottenham aim to bring in a new forward, selling Richarlison to Al Ahli could generate significant funds.

With the Saudi club’s interest and Spurs’ valuation set, the coming weeks will be critical in determining Richarlison’s future.
