Tottenham star eyeing Saudi move as Spurs consider deal
A host of Postecoglou’s squad could well leave.
A top-performing Spurs player this season is considering a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, and it is believed Tottenham are open to it as well.

Reliable source Paul O’Keefe, who regularly breaks news out of N17 on social media, recently claimed that Spurs could be open to offers for over a dozen senior players when the transfer window reopens.
We can very well assume who will be cut from this lengthy list, which includes players who are currently on loan from other teams as well as current members of Ange Postecoglou’s squad.
While some are more likely than others, Bryan Gil, Giovani Lo Celso, Troy Parrott, Joe Rodon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele, Sergio Reguilon, Japhet Tanganga, Manor Solomon, Emerson Royal, and Djed Spence have all been linked to leaving Tottenham this summer.
While Alasdair Gold has declared that neither Rodon nor Spence are in Postecoglou’s long-term plans, Leeds is rumored to be in a frantic attempt to sign Rodon on a permanent basis.

---|---|
Manor Solomon | 198 |
Bryan Gil | 203 |
Giovani Lo Celso | 491 |
Oliver Skipp | 601 |
Rodrigo Bentancur | 863 |
Fabrizio Romano, meanwhile, has backed Hojbjerg could leave Tottenham after a season of very few opportunities in Postecoglou’s starting elevens. The Dane’s contract also expires in 2025, so chairman Daniel Levy will most likely want to sell for a reasonable fee before Hojbjerg can go for nothing.
Richarlison eyeing Saudi move with Tottenham open to selling
According to The Boot Room, intermediaries have made it clear Richarlison is interested in making a move to Saudi, where newly-promoted Al-Qadisiyah are targeting the player.
Tottenham are also believed to be open to the idea of selling their forward this summer, despite his form and praise from Postecoglou for turning his N17 career around.
“Since he’s come back, fair to say he feels a lot better physically and I think that’s helped him mentally as well,” said Postecoglou on Richarlison after he scored a brace against Newcastle earlier this term.
