Spurs Star ‘Gives Green Light’ for Shock January Move as Talks Begin

One Tottenham Hotspur star has reportedly given the green light for a shock move away during the January transfer window.

It has been a fairly decent start to the 25/26 campaign for Spurs under new boss Thomas Frank.

In the Premier League, they currently sit third in the table, having collected 17 points from nine matches.

However, they are five points adrift of league leaders and bitter rivals Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Spurs have also made a satisfactory start to their UEFA Champions League journey, having won one and drawn two of their opening three matches.

Looking ahead, it has been reported that one current Spurs star could leave the club during the winter transfer window.

As per Sport Witness, journalist Fabricio Lopes has claimed that Brazilian Serie A side Flamengo are interested in signing Richarlison if the player decides to leave European football.

It has been claimed that Richarlison, 28, has already given Flamengo the 'ok'.

Lopes said: "The one Flamengo really want is Richarlison, the former Fluminense man.

"The values are still being discussed and are much higher than what Brazilian clubs usually pay. But Richarlison has already given the ‘ok’ to negotiate with Flamengo if he returns to South America."

However, Flamengo may have to cough up a significant fee as Richarlison is under contract with Spurs until 2027.

According to Transfermarkt, the forward has a market value of around €25 million, which will be among the most expensive signings in the history of Brazilian football.

So far in the 25/26 season, Richarlison has made 14 appearances for Spurs across all competitions, scoring three goals and assisting two.

What has Thomas Frank said about Richarlison?

Back in August, Frank spoke glowingly about Richarlison after Spurs' opening day win against Burnley.

He said: "He was very good against PSG and today he was exceptional, with his work-rate, driving the team, link-up play, hold-up play, just dominating and then the two finishes. So happy on his behalf and again performance department, medical department did a top job to build him.

"I think a few of you know he was not involved in the first friendly because we had to build him. That will be continuous and something we need to look at throughout the season. It is only the second game of the season, there is a long way to go but very positive with him."
