Update On The Future Of This Tottenham Hotspur Forward: Should De Zerbi Cut Him Loose?

Update On The Future Of This Tottenham Hotspur Forward: Should De Zerbi Cut Him Loose? In a recent report , journalist Pete O’Rourke offered an update on the future of Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison. It has been stated that Spurs are planning to overhaul their attack this January and could look to offload the Brazilian talent in the winter transfer period. Richarlison’s Important Role At Tottenham Last Season Richarlison served as a crucial member of Tottenham’s squad in the previous campaign when he put in a string of productive displays for them in the final third. The 29-year-old found the back of the net 12 times and picked up five assists in 43 matches for Spurs last season in multiple competitions. The Brazilian sensation has been frozen out of Roberto De Zerbi’s squad this season. Thus, it is only fair to the player if Spurs decide to move him on in this January transfer window. His current contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will run out at the end of this campaign. Hence, the Premier League outfit need to cash in on him this January or lose him on a free transfer next summer.

Richarlison is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has the vision to engineer a few promising chances for others around him in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet. The Brazilian striker can be a streaky goal-getter in the final third when he is playing regularly and with confidence on the field. Richarlison is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player if told to do so by his manager. However, he is currently surplus to requirements at the North London club and could benefit from a change of scenery this January. Thus, Spurs should look to cut Richarlison loose when the transfer window reopens next year. Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi would be better off cashing in on him and using the money generated from his potential sale to bring in a suitable replacement this winter. At 29, Richarlison is still playing in his prime and is on an expiring contract. Hence, Tottenham should not have any problems shipping him out of the club this January.
