A Tottenham Hotspur man has already given his admirers the green light to reach out to Spurs and to negotiate a January transfer.

There have been several reports over the last few weeks claiming that Spurs are looking to add a top-class number nine to their squad in January.

This comes amidst suggestions that one experienced Tottenham striker may be sold in January, and it turns out that the player himself may be open to leaving.

The striker in question is Richarlison, who is rumoured to be on Everton’s radar, but the Brazilian is thought to be ready to return to his home country.

Richarlison is ready to leave Tottenham to return to Brazil

Richarlison was heavily linked with a return to Brazil during the summer, and it has now emerged that one of the biggest clubs in the country is set to try again to sign him in January.

According to reports, journalist Fabrício Lopes, the 28-year-old is willing to join Flamengo if they can hash out a deal with Spurs during the upcoming transfer window.

Lopes said on Bolavip: “The one Flamengo really want is Richarlison, the former Fluminense man. The values are still being discussed and are much higher than what Brazilian clubs usually pay. But Richarlison has already given the ‘ok’ to negotiate with Flamengo if he returns to South America.”
