Tottenham eye Richarlison replacement in €18m striker who has not lived up to the expectations at AC Milan

Tottenham eye Richarlison replacement in €18m striker who has not lived up to the expectations at AC Milan

Tottenham must urgently fix their attacking issues.

The club is reportedly close to securing Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, with both deals provisionally agreed. This double signing would mark a bold early move in what is expected to be a crucial summer rebuild under manager Roberto De Zerbi.

However, Tottenham’s leadership still needs to address clear shortcomings in attack. Richarlison, Mathys Tel, Dominic Solanke, and Randal Kolo Muani managed just 18 Premier League goals combined.

In his seven matches in charge, De Zerbi saw enough from the struggling forward line to know major changes are needed.

Richarlison finished the season as Tottenham’s top scorer with 12 goals across all competitions. It’s no secret that injuries have repeatedly disrupted his time at the club, leading to persistent inconsistency. With the Brazilian entering the final year of his contract, Spurs may opt to sell him rather than lose him for nothing in 2027.

Tottenham identify Santiago Giménez as Richarlison’s replacement

According to the Daily Mirror, Tottenham have set their sights on AC Milan striker Santiago Giménez.

Giménez enjoyed three prolific seasons at Feyenoord before joining Milan in the summer of 2025. Arriving with high expectations, he was meant to solve Milan’s goal-scoring issues. But the Mexican international had a forgettable debut Serie A season, plagued by injuries. He made only 18 appearances across all competitions and scored just once—failing to find the net in the league at all.

Despite this, Spurs are not judging him on one poor campaign in Italy. Instead, they’re looking back at his impressive record at Feyenoord, where he scored 65 goals in 105 matches. Now 25, Giménez is approaching his prime, and if De Zerbi believes he suits his system, Tottenham should move quickly.

Initially, Giménez could serve as understudy to Solanke while adapting to the Premier League. Although he has no prior experience in English football, his current €18 million market value (via Transfermarkt) could make him a smart, cost-effective replacement for Richarlison.
