Tottenham prepare for Richarlison exit as January plans remain cautious
With Djed Spence sold and Pedro Porro injured, Tottenham may already have a right-back prospect in 16-year-old Oscar Sandiford, who has featured for Spurs Under-18s and England Under-18s.
Spurs are not planning a big-money January striker move and will instead focus on value options. The club are open to discussing a new contract with Dejan Kulusevski if he proves his fitness over the coming months.
Mathys Tel deserves a bigger role for Tottenham against Manchester United.
Spurs have several injury concerns before facing Manchester United, with Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Mykhailo Mudryk, Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski out, while Jan Paul van Hecke is a doubt. Micky van de Ven is expected to be fit after a finger injury.
Spurs will facilitate Richarlison’s January exit, have ruled out triggering the option to extend his contract to 2028, and have abandoned attempts to end his current deal early through legal action or mutual agreement.
