Former Brazilian footballer Edmundo has sparked speculation about Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison, suggesting the striker could be a future target for Vasco da Gama.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Edmundo referred to Richarlison as a “dream” signing for the Brazilian club, and hinted that a potential transfer could be a possibility in the coming years.
Edmundo, who had a successful career with Vasco da Gama, spoke of the club’s intention to bolster their squad with marquee signings, highlighting Richarlison as a key option for their forward line.
It is not the first time the Brazilian club have been linked with the Tottenham striker, as Richarlison was a summer target for Vasco. However, these rumors were quickly dismissed by the player’s representatives.
Clubs in the Saudi Pro League were among the most likely to make a move for him. In the end, no concrete offer came for the striker and he ended up staying at the club.
Edmundo sparks speculation after naming Richarlison
But Edmundo has sparked speculation again after naming him among those who could be targeted by the Brazilian club.
As you have quoted CNN Brasilthe 53-year-old stated:
“Now, the idea is to keep all the main players and sign two or three heavyweights. One for defence, one for midfield and two for attack. Heavyweight like Richarlison. I am dreaming and I can guarantee that 2025 will be different”.
Richarlison’s struggles at Tottenham
Richarlison joined Tottenham in a £60million move from Everton in 2022, but his performance has not matched expectations. In 68 appearances for Spurs, he has contributed 15 goals and 8 assists. Despite being brought in as a major attacking force, the 27-year-old has struggled to cement his place in the starting line-up.
This underwhelming form has raised questions over Richarlison’s long-term future at the north London club, with reports suggesting Tottenham could consider selling him in future transfer windows.
New big-money striker Dominic Solanke has also started work, which is expected to further reduce his playing time at the club.
If his struggles continue, a move away from Tottenham, possibly to Vasco or elsewhere, could become a realistic option.
