Spurs star hits back at Tottenham transfer rumour with five-word expletive rant
There have been rumours around Richarlison’s future for quite some time now, but the man himself appears to have shut down any talk of a Tottenham exit.
It’s been a strange few years at Tottenham for Richarlison. The Brazilian forward has enjoyed some brilliant highs and has proven his worth at times, but injuries and poor form have also plagued his three-and-a-half year spell in North London.
Most would agree that, when Dominic Solanke is fit, Richarlison has no chance of making the starting XI at Spurs. Exactly when Solanke will be back is another matter, though.
Despite the constant speculation suggesting he could leave, it has been said recently that Tottenham might offer Richarlison a new contract instead. Judging by his latest comments on Instagram, he would like that very much.
Richarlison doesn’t want to leave Tottenham
Amid reports of Richarlison wanting to leave the club over on Instagram (via Chris Cowlin), the player himself has spoken out in the comments section with a rather indignant response.
The Spurs star replied to the story, writing: “Who said that? F— off.”
Indeed, this would align with his past comments and thoughts on the idea of leaving Spurs. Richarlison has always insisted he wants to stay and fight for his place at the club and you can see how passionate he is about Tottenham when he’s on the pitch.
He has enjoyed a pretty good season so far, on a personal level, too. Richarlison has eight goals and three assists in 30 appearances across all competitions.
Is it time for Richarlison to move on?
Whether Richarlison wants to stay or not, there is a genuine debate to be had as to whether it is time for him to move on.
Spurs are expecting offers from Saudi Arabia again, and it is thought Tottenham want to replace Richarlison with a new number nine in the near future.
However, it’s worth noting Richarlison is one of the league leaders when it comes to outperforming his xG. He’s also been an important player for the Lilywhites this season amid ongoing injury issues throughout the squad.
Should Spurs sell Richarlison? Perhaps. But only if they have a suitable replacement ready to go. Letting him go without one would be madness.
