Brazil international has been strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer as Spurs target Bournemouth frontman
The striker has struggled in his first two seasons at Spurs, scoring only 15 goals in 66 appearances across all competitions for the north London club.
Tottenham are willing to listen to offers for the Brazilian international in the current transfer window.
They are also monitoring a number of new centre-forward targets, including Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke, who is expected to become available only if his £65million release clause is met.

But hopes of funding a move for Solanke have now taken a potential blow, with Richarlison having denied talk of a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Asked about reports linking him with a move to the Middle East, the 27-year-old told ESPN Brasil: “There has been an offer.
"But my dream of playing for the Brazilian Selecao (national team) and in the Premier League speaks louder.
"The money is big but my dreams are bigger."
Richarlison is believed to feel that a move to Saudi Arabia could limit his chances of featuring for Brazil at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The versatile forward joined Tottenham from Everton in July 2022 for a fee of £50m plus a further £10m in add-ons.
Spurs have already signed teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Yang Min-hyeok this summer for a total of around £52.5m.
