Leeds United and Everton have both been linked with a move to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison this summer.

The Brazil international joined Spurs in a £60 million deal in the summer of 2022, and he was viewed as a great option for Antonio Conte at the time.

Richarlison has scored a few great goals for Spurs over the years, but it has to be said that he has failed to live up to his huge price tag.

Now, the 28-year-old’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is up in the air.

Leeds United and Everton’s stance on signing Richarlison from Tottenham

Richarlison is not at the top of Tottenham’s pecking order.

Spurs have Dominic Solanke up top, while Dejan Kulusevski usually plays on the right. Heung-min Son, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel are all available as options on the opposite side, where young Mikey Moore can also play. Mohammed Kudus has joined the club too now.

Richarlison is still a good player on his day, but Tottenham will be happy to sell him if a good enough offer arrives in the coming weeks.

TBR Football previously revealed that Everton have thought about re-signing Richarlison, while reports elsewhere have suggested interest from Leeds United as well.

Ben Jacobs has now revealed that he contacted both clubs to know more about the story, but they played it down because the player’s wages and transfer fee are too high for their liking.

The journalist said on Last Word On Spurs: “There remains Saudi and also some Brazilian interest in Richarlison. So, let’s see how that one develops.

“I think Leeds was the other link, but when I went to Leeds, much like Everton, it was largely downplayed for Richarlison because it’s a big fee and quite a high wage as well.”

What should Tottenham do with Richarlison?

Tottenham are in a tricky situation with Richarlison.

The Brazilian, on his day, is phenomenal. He offers options across the front line, his work rate is excellent, and he has the ability to score goals as well.

However, Richarlison has entered the final two years of his contract, and this would be the right time to cash in on him, considering his performances.

With clubs in Saudi Arabia still interested, Tottenham should look to get a good deal for Richarlison, but it remains to be seen if he will agree to move to the Middle East.
