Tottenham are expected to sell Richarlison this summer.
Richarlison has failed to live up to expectations since moving to Spurs from Everton three years ago.
The Brazilian has suffered constantly from injuries and has struggled to find his best form when he has been available. As such, the striker looks set to join a long list of Daniel Levy’s failed transfers at Spurs.
Yoane Wissa could replace Richarlison at Tottenham
Richarlison already has a long line of suitors this summer, which includes clubs from the Turkish, Italian and Brazilian leagues.
As reported by Brazilian outlet Terra (15 July), Palmeiras have shown a strong interest in signing Richarlison. The São Paulo club have made contact with Tottenham, and are not deterred by his £55million price tag.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Palmerias are not the only club looking to strengthen their front line. Spurs have also been in the market this summer and are widely reported to be considering a move for Yoane Wissa.
With his ability to play as a centre-forward, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes Wissa could be the perfect Richarlison replacement.
“Wissa is a good player,” Wenham said.
“He would slot in quite seamlessly as he’s worked with Thomas Frank and his coaching staff.
“However, I just think we have too many players at the moment. I think we’d have to see some outgoings first before we could add more players, certainly in that position.
“Wissa can play as an out-and-out striker, and out wide. Therefore, if Richarlison were to leave, then Wiss could replace him in the squad.”
Tottenham fans will miss Richarlison
Tottenham fans will no doubt be disappointed to see Richarlison leave this summer. The striker sold supporters dreams when he first transferred and has become a fan favourite.
However, injuries have seen him miss several important moments throughout the years. This has resulted in the cost of having him in the team slowly outweighing his contribution.
As a result, even with heavy hearts, supporters will need to bid the 28-year-old farewell in the coming weeks.
