Galatasaray's interest in Tottenham Hotspur forward
As per Turkish outlet, Posta, the name in the frame to replace Osimhen, should he take the mouth-watering offer from Al-Hilal, is Tottenham’s versatile attacker, Richarlison Andrade.
The Lilywhites have a good business history with Galatasaray, with their most recent sale to the Turkish side being Tanguy Ndombele who was an important midfielder in his time at RAMS Park.
According to the report, the UEFA Europa League winners are more than happy to allow the Brazilian leave this summer, either on loan or on a permanent basis.
However, the turn-out on the deal has been less than profitable for Spurs as the 28-year-old's time in London has been laiden with injuries, suspensions and inconsistency in performances. Additionally, he was referred for mental health counselling at some point.
With a new start to come under Thomas Frank, Spurs are prepared to cut their losses with Richarlison, but that'll depend on Victor Osimhen's eventual decision as the transfer market this summer gets even more interesting.
