Report: Spurs are ‘braced for offers’ of close to £60m for 27-year-old this summer

Ange Postecoglou has already done a fair bit of reshaping to the squad which he inherited last year and the work is hopefully set to continue in the current transfer window.

Tottenham are bracing themselves for an approach

Tottenham are now said to be bracing themselves for offers for Brazilian striker Richarlison this summer, according to GiveMeSport.

The report claims that Saudi dealmakers have already let their intention known that they are prepared to pay close to £60m to take the striker to the Middle East.

Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiah have both expressed an interest in the forward, who is currently working his way back to fitness.

The North Londoners are yet to replace former talisman Harry Kane and a potential exit for Richarlison would only speed up their urgency to bring in a new frontman.

Club captain Heung-min Son has often been asked to play through the middle by Ange Postecoglou, however, has looked far more comfortable when slotting back into his familiar position on the left.

Richarlison still has Saudi interest

Richarlison missed the end of last season with a calf problem which also saw him ruled out of Brazil’s Copa America campaign, which saw Argentina take the crown.

The 27-year-old has experienced a tough time since his move from Everton and has managed to score just 15 goals in 66 appearances for the North Londoners in all competitions (transfermarkt).

If Tottenham receive a bid of close to £60m for Richarlison from Saudi, they should take it with no questions asked.

The problem will be to try to persuade the striker to swap the Premier League for the Saudi Pro League given his ambition to break back into the Brazil set-up ahead of the next World Cup.

Unfortunately, his injury record and lack of consistency in front of goal is not what we need as a top four hopeful and the money should be used, along with existing funds to bring in two new strikers instead.
