Tottenham forward Richarlison is a target for Saudi Pro League clubs in January.

The Telegraph report that with financing for the next transfer window close to being confirmed, a move for both the Brazilian and Manchester United's Jadon Sancho is on the cards.

Key targets Heung-Min Son and Mohamed Salah are less likely to move mid-season but could still be signed in the future.

Richarlison, 26, was the approached by Saudi sides at the end of the summer but Spurs blocked any potential switch.

That stance may have changed, however, with the striker currently out after undergoing groin surgery.

He has consequently been replaced by Brennan Johnson in Ange Postecoglou's starting line-up.

The 48-cap international has made 11 appearances so far this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists.

His team-mate Son has previously admitted that the number of players moving to the Middle East is "really, really interesting".

The South Korean is contracted until 2025 and Spurs have the option to extend his deal by a further year. 

But he may lose his attacking partner to the lure of Saudi riches first.
