Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison is a target for MLS club Orlando City SC.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from Tottenham in recent months, but he has impressed under Thomas Frank so far.

It appears that the MLS outfit is keen on securing his signature, and their directors have arrived in London to meet with people close to the striker. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the near future.

Orlando City keen on Richarlison

Sharing the update on YouTube, Romano said:  “I can confirm that Orlando from MLS have made an approach for Richarlison.

“So what happened is that Orlando with their directors arrived in London in the recent days met with people close to the Richarlison to present a potential project for the future to Richarison.

“So Orlando have an interest and ambition in trying to sign Richardson. it’s still very early. There is no formal proposal, no financial terms discussed. Basically what Orlando wanted to do is to tell Richardson, we like you. We are interested in you. Let’s see what’s going to happen for the near future.

“So Orlando have genuine interest. But now it depends on what’s going to happen with Tottenham because for Tottenham he’s still an important player, considered important internally.”

Spurs to sell Richarlison?

Despite his recent resurgence, he has not been able to live up to the expectations since the big-money move from Everton. Tottenham might prefer to cash in on him if there is a suitable offer on the table. It could help them sign a quality striker in future.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops. They need a reliable goal scorer. Dominic Solanke has not been able to find the back of the net consistently either. Having a clinical finisher could make a huge difference for them in the final third.
