Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison ready to leave the club as Thomas Frank gives green light | OneFootball

Brazil international forward Richarlison is ready to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer after new manager Thomas Frank gave the green light for his transfer exit, according to the Sun.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club are ready to cut their losses on the 28-year-old given his injury woes, and while he has suitors in the Premier League, he wants to leave England.

Richarlison is expected to sign for Galatasaray, and he could be available for just £20 million.

Spurs brought him from Everton in July 2022 for an initial fee of £50m plus £10m in potential add-ons, but he has played 90 games since then, weighing in with 20 goals and 10 assists.

Frank is looking forward to strengthening his squad in attack as he prepares for Champions League football next term, and West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus has reportedly emerged as a target.

Tottenham could be ready to replace Richarlison with the Ghana international, with his availability something they need after he featured in 80 games in his first two seasons in England.

Spurs believe they can sign Kudus for well below his £85m release clause – which is set to be active for the first 10 days of July – but the Hammers would want a valuable offer to sell their man.

The physicality and pace of the Premier League appear to have taken a toll on Richarlison as he has struggled to stay fit since joining the North London club, and selling him is unlikely to affect the squad.

Frank has his own ideas concerning the mould of attackers he wants, and it appears the Brazilian is not in his plans going forward.

Tottenham have been linked with Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo, but the Cameroon international is closing in on a move to Manchester United.

Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo and Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze are also on their radar, and more attacking targets will emerge in the coming weeks as they prepare for life without Richarlison.
