Tottenham are expected to play Richarlison up top of Kane leaves

Richarlison

Tottenham Hotspur would likely play Richarlison as a central striker next season. That is if Harry Kane leaves this summer. A report from The Times has suggested that Harry Kane won’t be signing a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur The 29-year-old talisman only has one year left on his current deal at Spurs.

Bayern Munich are very interested in signing the England captain. But their offers have not been entertained by Daniel Levy.

His future has been one of the dominating features of Ange Postecoglou’s press conferences.

Harry Kane is the club’s best player by some distance. And whether or not he stays at Tottenham will have a huge impact on their outlook for next season.

Richarlison ready to take up the Harry Kane responsibility at Tottenham

The signing of James Maddison is a top class one. It should mean that whether it’s Kane or Richarlison being deployed as Tottenham’s striker that pressure is somewhat relieved.

However, the disappointment of losing one of the club’s greatest-ever players won’t be easy to overcome at Tottenham. Those are one hell of a shoe to fill for his successor.

Richarlison would then be tasked with picking up where the club’s all-time record top goalscorer, Kane, left off. It’s an unenviable task for any player as Harry Kane is an impossible act to follow.

For years he’s been Tottenham’s most creative player as well as their star goal scorer itself

Richarlison can be lethal in front of goal as he proved for Brazil at the World Cup last year and on previous occasions for his clubs as well.
