Ange Postecoglou will be aiming to take Tottenham Hotspur to the next level ahead of the new Premier League season.
Tottenham finished fifth last term, returned to Europe and completely changed their style of play under their new manager.
Last summer, the powers that be backed Postecoglou in the summer transfer market, including signings such as James Maddison and Micky van de Ven.
And once again, he has been backed, with
Tottenham securing the signing of Dominic Solanke in a club-record deal.
The 26-year-old scored 19 Premier League goals for Bournemouth last term and he has no doubt come in to start pretty much straightaway.That spells bad news for Richarlison – he was also once the club’s record transfer – because it means he is a back-up striker and wide player under Postecoglou now.
As a result of it all, Stephen Warnock thinks Richarlison will want to leave the club before the summer transfer window slams shut.
The former left-back thinks the Brazil international won’t be happy and he could even head for the exit door on a loan deal, as he told Sky Sports News.
Richarlison backed to leave Tottenham on loan
“I have got a feeling Richarlison will go out on loan,” said Warnock. “I just don’t think he will sit there and be happy, with a new striker coming into the club and knowing he is playing second fiddle.“Even in the wide areas, I think he will get to a point where he will go ‘no, I am going to have to go, I really do’.”If Spurs have the chance, they should look to cash in on Richarlison and sell him permanently.
Richarlison was praised for turning down the chance to play in Saudi Arabia , with the player keen to prove himself at Hotspur Way – Emerson Royal stated he will be rooting for Richarlison after leaving Tottenham.
In terms of depth, he would be a great bench player because Spurs need that ahead of their return to Europe.
But it just has to be accepted that Richarlison is no longer good enough to be a regular starter.
