After spending an estimated £60 million to join the north London club, the Brazil international is still getting used to his new surroundings more than a year later.
Though Spurs have not yet seen a significant return on their investment, it is thought that they will not let go of the attacker during the January transfer window.
If Richarlison’s subpar play in goal persists, Ange Postecoglou’s team may entertain very lucrative bids for him from Saudi Arabia next summer.
This season, in 11 games across all competitions, he has managed two goals and three assists, nearly surpassing his total from the 2022–2023 campaign.
With 35 appearances in all competitions during his first season, the former Everton star finished with three goals and four assists.
With a contract that expires in June 2027, Richarlison is paid £90,000 per week, according to FBRef.
His long-standing groyne injury required surgery, and he is now recovering on the treatment table.
Spurs, who are fourth in the Premier League, are also without injured players James Maddison and Micky van de Ven.
The international break will be followed by their next game on November 26 against Aston Villa.

Tottenham receive positive news as Serie A giants ‘willing to sell star’ in January window
Tottenham are expected to splash the cash in the January transfer window, with new arrivals anticipated at both ends of the pitch.
It has been revealed that Juventus are thinking of parting ways with Samuel Iling-Junior in January, which has given Tottenham a huge transfer boost. Given that Ange Postecoglou’s list of absences keeps getting longer and is making it difficult for him to select a starting lineup, Spurs are eager to spend big during the winter transfer window to boost their forward ranks.
The former Celtic manager has given the Tottenham club newfound energy and has forced them to step outside of their comfort zone in order to develop into an offensive, formidable team. Postecoglou’s team is currently in fourth place in the Premier League after winning eight of their first twelve games, reaping the benefits of his audacious adjustments.
But injuries are jeopardising Spurs’ prospects for what appears to be a big season. Because James Maddison, Richarlison, and Micky van de Ven are presently out with injuries, it is evident that Tottenham is in dire need of depth in their roster.
The focus in north London has shifted to attacking reinforcements as a number of defenders, including Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth and Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, have been mentioned as possible targets.
Juve winger Iling-Junior is one of the players that has been connected to Tottenham in an attempt to cover their front line, and the 20-year-old would be a good fit. Bianconera News claims that the Old Lady is “heavily considering” selling the Englishman and giving him the opportunity to succeed somewhere else.
Iling-Junior has played 113 minutes of Serie A football thus far this season, making just four substitution appearances under manager Massimiliano Allegri. Juventus is considering whether a sale would be the wisest course of action for all parties because they are aware that the forward is being held back by his restricted playing time.
Ange Postecoglou is eager to increase the number of forwards in his squad. Spurs have been mentioned as a potential destination for Iling-Junior, who is reported to have the “opportunity” to find a new club and properly put himself in the shop window to lure a transfer during the January transfer window. Young players throughout Europe are reportedly impressed by Tottenham’s orientation and viewing the club’s comeback under Postecoglou as a “ambitious project.”
