Richarlison’s Tottenham future assessed ahead of winter window
Richarlison might end up staying at Tottenham beyond the January window, although a move could be likely next summer.
According to TBR, Richarlison’s future could be at Tottenham beyond the January window, with all parties leaning towards a stay. The Brazilian’s situation is somewhat confusing at the moment, as a summer move looks more likely than a winter departure, with Thomas Frank seemingly happy with the player’s performances.
The Tottenham Hotspur stadium was not in the best of moods last weekend following their loss to Chelsea in the Premier League. The fans booed the players for their performances, and in midweek, they were again a bit vocal, but only for certain players.
One of them was Richarlison, with the fans not happy with his performances in the game as well as over the last few occasions. The Brazilian has had a good start to the new campaign, where he has looked to have put his injury and form issues behind him, but some familiar struggles continued to haunt the attacker.
There are many doubts about his future, with some stories insisting Richarlison could leave in January. However, the situation surrounding the Brazilian is complicated, as he rejected the idea of departing Tottenham last summer in a bid to fight for his place in the team and find his form again.
The striker is angling for a place in the Brazilian squad for next year’s World Cup, which could potentially influence his decision ahead of January. There’s interest from Everton, who are keen to re-sign the striker and probably offer him a big role in the side under David Moyes. However, the situation at Spurs is complicated, as Thomas Frank is happy with the Tottenham star, who has five goal involvements in five starts this term.
Richarlison to stay at Tottenham?
Richarlison is currently leaning towards staying at Tottenham despite the many links with an exit from the club. Spurs have, for now, closed the door to a January departure as they may not want to lose a forward of his stature without a replacement, as a summer sale m ight be more likely. Spurs were recently linked to Dusan Vlahovic, although the Serbian is likely to leave Juventus on a Bosman move next summer.
Richarlison does have a key place in Frank’s plans for the time being, but his future will be better evaluated once Dominic Solanke returns to fitness. Should he fall down the pecking order, the current stance of keeping him could change between now and the January window.
