Fresh off their return to the Premier League, Leeds United are wasting no time in shaping a squad capable of surviving — and potentially thriving — in the top flight. With Daniel Farke’s men ending the Championship campaign as the division’s most prolific scorers, there’s still a clear desire to add proven firepower to the squad, especially with doubts over whether Joel Piroe can deliver consistently at the next level.
One high-profile name now being linked with a shock move to Elland Road is Tottenham forward Richarlison. According to reports from *The Boy Hotspur* (1 May), the Brazil international has entered discussions with former club Everton over a potential reunion, but Leeds are among several clubs also showing serious interest. Newcastle United, Brazilian sides Fluminense and Palmeiras, and teams in Saudi Arabia are all reportedly circling, with a £30 million fee believed to be enough to tempt Spurs into a sale.
Richarlison’s time at Tottenham has been underwhelming since his big-money switch from Everton in 2022. With just 12 Premier League appearances this season and Spurs languishing near the bottom of the table, a summer exit now appears likely.
At 27, Richarlison is entering his peak years and remains a player with proven Premier League credentials. His versatility — able to operate through the middle or on either flank — and experience battling relegation could make him a valuable asset for a newly promoted Leeds side looking to cement their top-flight status. With 240 Premier League appearances and 64 goals to his name, the Brazilian represents a bold but potentially transformative signing for Leeds United this summer.
