John Wenham believes Tottenham could sell Richarlison in January, also given the striker’s recent good form, suggesting that the club could view such a move as a “good deal”.
This view could be influenced by various factors, including the player’s market value, Tottenham’s financial considerations and the club’s overall strategic orientation.
Richarlison’s recent form at Tottenham, scoring five goals in his last five Premier League games and a total of six this season, suggests that he has settled in well in north London.
Manager Angelo Postecoglou’s decision to trust the Brazilian international and start him at number nine, while moving Son Heung-Min to a wider position, shows a strategic adjustment that has paid off in terms of Richarlison’s goalscoring contribution.
Despite Richarlison’s impressive form and the manager’s confidence, John Wenham believes that the striker could still move in January, especially if a lucrative offer from the Saudi Professional League or another source comes up. A potential transfer could depend on a variety of factors, including Tottenham’s willingness to entertain offers, the player’s own preferences and the financial aspects associated with a potential deal.
He told Tottenham Hotspur News, “I think it would kill Richarlison to sign a striker in January as far as confidence is concerned.
“I still think if the Saudi league offered what we paid for him, the club would accept that and sell him despite his recent upturn in form.”
