Tottenham tipped to accept ‘big Richarlison offer’ – expert
Tottenham forward Richarlison will leave by the end of this month if the club receive a “big offer”.
That’s the opinion of ex-Tottenham defender Alan Hutton, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Hutton believes the 27-year-old may still leave if Daniel Levy’s £60million asking price is met.
Football Insider revealed (August 10) that Tottenham are still planning on accepting a big-money Richarlison offer even after the forward publicly stated he wants to stay in the Premier League.
Spurs have been looking to find a replacement for ex-striker Harry Kane and believe they have found it in £65 million man Solanke and could seek to add more.
Football Insider also revealed (August 10) that Tottenham have placed Jonathan David on their transfer target list amid doubts over Richarlison’s future.
Ricarlison could still leave Tottenham after Dominic Solanke signing
Richarlison had a tough time in front of goal for Spurs last season, only managing to score 12 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions for the club.
In stark contrast, Solanke managed to bag 21 goals across 48 appearances last season for a less creative side.
“It’s a possibility”, Hutton told Football Insider.
“I think if they can get a big fee in, the club will likely accept it. If we’re talking £60million from Saudi Arabia or wherever it may be.
“I don’t think a Premier League team would pay £60million right now but if they get a fee that’s going to meet Daniel Levy’s valuation he could possibly go.
“From the manager’s point of view, I think he’d be quite happy keeping Richarlison, he gives you another option.
“I think Solanke will be the main number nine, their main target to score the goals they need to try and get back into that top four.
“You’ve got Richarlison who can play out wide as well and that striker position.
“The manager will want as many options as possible but I think it will all come down to whether there is a bid big enough for Levy to consider.”
