There is reportedly heavy criticism over Richarlison’s future career at Tottenham at the end of the summer, with the club pushing to sign a new striker.
Richarlison has struggled to make his mark in two seasons with the Spurs so far. In his first crusade after signing for Everton, the Brazilian striker scored one goal in the league, less than the yellow cards he received.
Last season, he surpassed this figure by placing 11 times in the league. But for a club accustomed to seeing Harry Kane score at least 20 goals per season, those results may seem very disappointing.
Richarlison himself has hinted that he is satisfied at Tottenham and that he will stay.
But he may not have much of a choice in the matter, with data linking him to the club.
Spurs have been linked with a number of forwards over the summer, it has been reported that the easiest way to get someone through the door would be to see their back first.
New reports imply that may not be the case, but Richarlison’s Spurs career remains in jeopardy.

In fact, Football Insider suggests that the striker faces a long dubious career if a new striker walks through the door before the window is over.
“Big brands” will surround your long term if that’s the case.
If Tottenham need to get a new striker through the door, it seems they would be wise to offload Richarlison.
The club reportedly believes there is still interest in the Brazilian from the Saudi Pro League toward the finish of the window.
It remains to be seen whether or not Richarlison will want it to be better to look elsewhere if a new striker joins.
Tottenham lately have a deal in the works for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.
The club are keen to send off Heung-min Son and use a striker as sensible as the Englishman.
But if their player offers the most money (adding £50m) for Solanke sees him join, CaughtOffside says it’s possible they’ll court Jonathan David.
Talks have reportedly recently begun with close contacts of the player with a view to his signing.
It is possible that he will be available for a much lower price than Solanke, because his contract with Lille ends in a year.
