Tottenham Hotspur are considering a new contract for Richarlison after leaning away from a January exit for the attacker, although they are still exploring ways to strengthen their own frontline.<\/p>\n
Spurs<\/a> need to improve their options in the final third if they are to have any chance of finishing in a reasonable position this season and easing the pressure on Thomas Frank. The left-wing role remains deprived of suitable options, while Richarlison<\/a> still looks like the favourite in the centre-forward role despite the addition of Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain this season.<\/p>\n In the January window, Spurs will be on the lookout for new firepower \u2013 but sources have also revealed what they\u2019re considering for Richarlison.<\/p>\n Tottenham consider contract offer for Richarlison<\/p>\n TEAMtalk\u2019s Dean Jones has revealed how Spurs could protect Richarlison\u2019s value in the face of interest from two Premier League rivals by extending his stay in north London.<\/p>\n \u201cTottenham might double down on a stance of not letting Richarlison leave in January, by offering the forward an extended contract,\u201d Jones told TEAMtalk.<\/p>\n \u201cSpurs are expecting interest in the Brazilian striker ahead of the January transfer window, with both Everton and Fulham believed to be among clubs monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n \u201cRicharlison began Saturday\u2019s match against Liverpool on the subs bench but made a significant impact after being introduced, scoring and almost inspiring a comeback.<\/p>\n \u201cThe club are on the lookout for new attacking edge but have also considered blocking any departure in January for him.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the moment we understand they see no benefit in letting him leave on loan. And a sale would depend on the level of bidding and whether they can sufficiently upgrade him in the squad in the next month.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Spurs do decide to keep him on, sources suggest that Tottenham may even look to additionally lengthen his contract.<\/p>\n \u201cRicharlison\u2019s current deal runs until 2027, and any new proposal would be designed to protect his value while also giving the club additional time to assess the future.<\/p>\n \u201cIt comes at a time when Tottenham face a test of patience over boss Thomas Frank, but the club are trying to remain positive.\u201d<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
