Tottenham Could Be Making Mistake Letting Richarlison Leave

Tottenham may have made a mistake with what has happened with striker Richarlison over the last few weeks.

Tottenham may have made a mistake with what has happened with striker Richarlison over the last few weeks.

Richarlison made the move to Tottenham in a £60 million deal from Everton back in 2022.

Spurs invested significantly in the Brazilian forward after a strong period with Everton, with Richarlison signing a five-year contract.

Richarlison has never been a consistent producer for Tottenham, partly due to injuries, but also due to poor performances at times.

Despite that, the former Everton man has never shied away from working hard and will always put his body on the line to help the team.

Last season, Richarlison played a crucial role in helping Tottenham stay in the Premier League, but that clearly wasn't enough after what happened during the summer.

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Richarlison is set to take the club to court in order to try and terminate his contract.

It's a messy situation after a move to Everton fell through during the summer transfer window, with Richarlison posting a bombshell statement confirming that he wanted to rejoin the Toffees .

Spurs were clearly willing to allow him to depart and could now lose a £60 million signing for free, so are Tottenham making a mistake?

In reality, the mistake has already been made by letting it get to where it is at the moment.

Richarlison is far from perfect, but his goals and assists were crucial for Spurs last season.

The Brazilian hit 15 goals and assists last season, and right now Roberto De Zerbi could certainly do with someone like that in the side.

Spurs are still searching for their first goal in the Premier League this campaign, but they are willing to offload one of their most consistent producers.

As mentioned, the mistake has already been made by Tottenham, who could now lose Richarlison for nothing.

There's no doubt that if Tottenham want to go to the next level, then they do need to sign an improvement on Richarlison, but it could have been handled better.

In reality, Richarlison could still be a useful squad option for Spurs, but now he's likely to be frozen out or heading for the exit door.

While Spurs are transitioning to a new era under De Zerbi, it would have been ideal to keep some of their experienced players at the club.

Richarlison could help the transition and contribute in front of goal, but Tottenham have handled the situation terribly.
