Richarlison on the Agenda in Trabzonspor's Search for a Striker

Trabzonspor continues its work to strengthen the attack in the mid-season transfer window. Satisfied with the performance of Franculino Dju, the claret-and-blues are considering adding a goalscorer because Paul Onuachu has fallen short of expectations. One of the names on the agenda is Tottenham forward Richarlison.

According to reports in the English press, Trabzonspor contacted Tottenham's management about the 29-year-old Brazilian striker, whom the club had also been interested in during the summer transfer window, and made a first offer. According to a report by Fotomaç, Trabzonspor has reportedly proposed a low transfer fee for the player, whose contract is entering its final months. The player's contract runs until June 2027, and he could leave in January. His market value is listed at 15 million euros.

Richarlison has played only 68 minutes in a Premier League match this season. The report stresses that he is warm to the idea of joining the claret-and-blues and suggests that the Salah factor could be decisive in the transfer. After Trabzonspor's 2-0 away win over Alanyaspor in Week 11 of the Süper Lig, Richarlison left a clapping emoji on Salah's social media post.

In terms of technical attributes, Richarlison's physical strength, desire to press and runs behind the defensive line stand out. The report notes that his performance has fluctuated at times, that he has a history of injuries, and that playmaking and dribbling in tight spaces are not his strongest assets. Onuachu, on the other hand, stands out for his aerial dominance, physical superiority and penalty area effectiveness, while Richarlison offers mobility, pressing and variety in attack.
