Postecoglou boost as Richarlison rejects Saudi riches
Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham’s Australian head coach, has been given a major pre-season boost by forward Richarlison’s decision to reject a move to the Saudi Pro League.
The Brazil international has been linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabia in recent months after an injury-hit two years at Spurs.
Al Hilal were reportedly ready to bid for Richarlison, but the 27-year-old has revealed his desire is to stay in England and work towards winning back his place in the Brazil national team.
“There has been an offer,” Richarlison told ESPN Brasil. “But my dream of playing for the Brazilian Selecao (national team) and in the Premier League speaks louder.
“The money is big but my dreams are bigger.”
Chelsea have signed defender Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors for an undisclosed fee and loaned him straight back to the Argentine side for the 2024-25 season.
Anselmino, 19, signed a seven-year contract with Chelsea after making 10 senior appearances for Boca since making his professional debut in June 2023.
Newcastle have signed Denmark Under-21 striker William Osula from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee
