Richarlison unhappy at Tottenham as behind-the-scenes issues with Ange Postecoglou mooted

Bryan King believes Richarlison is unhappy at Tottenham amid reports linking him with a move away from North London.

The ex-Spurs scout would be keen to see the Brazillian leave the club.

It comes after a report from talkSPORT (21 May) revealed that Ange Postecoglou is willing to let Richarlison leave this summer.

And King - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - has suggested there may be issues between the forward and Postecoglou.

"I'm not the biggest fan of Richarlison," King said.

"When I watch him play at Tottenham, he doesn't look as though he is enjoying his football. He looks unhappy, and it is no good keeping players who are unhappy.

"Perhaps that is because he isn't playing regularly, or maybe there are issues behind the scenes between him and Postecoglou."

"I would be happier if Richarlison was playing somewhere else next season, personally."

Will Ange Postecoglou allow Richarlison to leave Tottenham?

Spurs appear to be on the hunt for a new number nine.

That in itself suggests that Postecoglou is not entirely happy with Richarlison.

If the Australian is keen for the player to be sold, then Daniel Levy should respect those wishes.

Spurs could potentially recoup a big fee for Richarlison which could be reinvested into the team.

Ultimately, if the manager or player is unhappy, then something needs to change.
