Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has warned that Richarlison must consider an upgrade if he is to end Liverpool’s quest for an all-time title against the Brazilian star.
Spurs have won eight of Postecoglou’s quick starts to the season, winning two of their first 10 games. It gave him his best start as a new manager in the Premier League and raised hopes that Tottenham can have a successful season.
Looking to realize their hopes, the Lilywhites have made a strong start to the transfer window and have quickly come out of the woodwork to complete the signing of Timo Werner, whose transfer should be completed before the end of the weekend or early next week. good.
Spurs are also hoping to sign Romanian defender Radu Drăgușin, while Daniel Levy is hoping to secure his contract from Genoa for a lower price than originally expected.
The duo boost Spurs’ hopes of finishing the season on a high, with Postecoglou aiming to progress as far as possible in the FA, finishing in the top four and returning to Champions League football in N17.
Their campaign began with a 1-0 win over Burnley on Friday night thanks to a fine goal from Pedro Foro. Their fans want nothing but FA Cup success, especially after a long and painful wait to lift the trophy.
Despite a few setbacks, their last trophy came almost 16 years ago when they lifted the League Cup at Wembley in 2008. Tottenham tell Richarlison to sell himBut former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol believes Tottenham lack what it takes to quickly win the title and feels one person in particular is holding them back – Richarlison.
The Brazilian could move from Everton for £60million in the summer of 2021 – the most expensive deal of the Antonio Conte era – but has struggled to justify a move all season.
Although he has been one of the goalscorers this season (the 48th-ranked Brazilian striker has seven goals in 19 games this season), Nicol told ESPN why Postecoglou should replace him if he wants to take the club to the next level.
Nicole: “They don’t have enough scorers. I mean, when Son Heung-min left, all the questions were: “Who’s going to put the ball in the back of the net?” Who takes what you can’t deliver?
There is actually no answer to this as Richarlison is not a goalscorer.“If ever there was a game that showed that, it was Friday night.
There were two chances to his left in the first half. Both attempts were very poor. Then he smells the head. “So if you’re Postecoglou, I think you’re happy to end this night.
But at the same time they have to be calm and if there really was someone in front of them to score, they would have done it. ”
“Richarlison has an overall poor record at Spurs.When told the 26-year-old has improved this season and scored a goal, Nicol added: “But that’s the problem. You just said, “That’s him.”
You know that’s Richarlison’s problem because she was infertile before that short period of time, right? “His record at Tottenham is a quarter. Now, if your centre-forward is your defender, you’re not going to get anything, especially if your two players aren’t actually scoring.
“This is not the Salah and Mane of a few years ago. Will Johnson and Kulusevski score?”Nicole’s claim that Richarlison’s record is “1/4” is factually incorrect.
Although his stats have improved this season, his overall record for Spurs is actually 10 goals in 54 appearances. That is 1 goal every 5.4 games.
