Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has hinted recently how he plans to approach the summer transfer window.
The Spurs boss has made it clear that he will allow some of his players to leave, as he needs to create space for new arrivals who can take the club to the level where he wants to see.
The north London club have seen a dramatic collapse in the final stages of the season, and it is a timely reminder that Spurs need to invest in their squad.
There are even suggestions that Postecoglou needs to be more ruthless in the transfer market and cash in on players before their value diminishes. Postecoglou suggested that sometimes good players have to be sold, and there is a possibility that Spurs may have to find buyers for half a dozen players this summer.
One of them could be Richarlison. The Brazilian striker has managed 11 goals and four assists in 18 starts this season in the Premier League. According to a report from The Athletic, Saudi Arabian clubs are showing “serious interest” in Richarlison.
Spurs paid big money for him when they signed him from Everton, and they now have a chance to “make their money back”. The Brazilian has a contract at the club until 2027, and Spurs could demand a high transfer fee if Saudi clubs make an approach.
Tottenham summer transfer plans
Emerson Royal is one of the candidates who is almost certain to leave the club this summer. Spurs could also terminate the contracts of some of their players who are on loan elsewhere if they cannot find permanent buyers.
Postecoglou stressed the need to sign a new centre-back in the summer, and they should probably look to bring someone with extensive Premier League experience. Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo has been linked, and he could be a smart option.
The Spurs boss has tried many combinations in midfield but without rich success, and signing a midfielder could be a priority. The club should also look to add a new forward, even if they decide to sign Timo Werner on a permanent deal.
