Hishalysong has declared his stay. The BBC reported on Tuesday (local time) that Hishalysong refused to move to Saudi Arabia.
He spoke to ESPN Brazil. “I got an offer, but it’s my dream to play for the Brazil national team. To do that, playing in the Premier League is more helpful,” he said. “I have a lot of money, but my dream is bigger.”
If Hishalisson, who is under contract until June 2027, declares his stay, Tottenham has no way. Tottenham paid Everton 60 million pounds (about 105 billion won) in the summer of 2022 and held Hishalisson in his arms.
However, his performance so far has been “bad” so far. He played in 27 matches in the English Premier League in his first season and scored only one goal. He played for 1,006 minutes.
He seemed to have succeeded in rebounding from the previous season. While “captain” Son Heung-min was away for the Qatar Asian Cup, he scored his first double-digit goal (10 goals) in the EPL after his transfer to Tottenham. However, he remained silent again after his return. His attack point also disappeared.
He also disappeared after a match against Liverpool (2:4 loss) on May 6. He ended the season early due to a calf injury, but is still out of his team’s roster despite the impending opening of the new season. He will play “zero” in pre-season games. He accompanied him on the East Asian tour that continued with Japan and Korea, but failed to participate in even a single game.
He scored 11 goals in 28 matches in the EPL in his second season. Coach Enze Postecoglou also hoped for his departure.
BBC said: ‘He has shown interest in his chalisson from various Saudi clubs. One unnamed team submitted an offer for recruitment.’ The team that officially proposed was known as al-Ahli
Al Ahli is one of four teams run by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. Riyad Mahrez, Eroir Mendy, Roberto Firmino and Frank Kesier nestled in al Ahli last year.
There is an empty space here. One year after moving to Al Ahli, Alain Saint-Maximin, who played for Newcastle United, was loaned to Fenerbahce where Jose Mourinho took the helm, and new offensive resources are needed.
On the rumor of his transfer to Saudi Arabia in May, Hishalisson emphasized on his SNS, “It’s fake news. I’m not leaving England ahead of next season.” That stance has been maintained.
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. sought to recruit Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) in preparation for Hishalisson’s transfer. Interest in Solanke has been around for a long time. A Tottenham source said at the end of last year, “Tottenham is closely monitoring Solanke. We have sent scouts to observe him and will keep track of him,” adding, “Bournemouth knows it will be difficult to block Solanke from transferring if he maintains his current form. That is why we are preparing for transfer negotiations.”
Solanke, a Chelsea youngster, played for Liverpool and settled in Bournemouth in January 2019. He played in only 27 matches for Liverpool and his value exploded at Bournemouth. He scored 77 goals in 216 matches.
Solanke had his first double-digit goal in the EPL last season. He scored 19 goals, two more than Son Heung-min (17 goals), tying for fourth in the scoring category.
Solanke is the first Bournemouth native to win the EPL Player of the Month award in December. Bournemouth acquired Solanke for a transfer fee of 24 million pounds. Liverpool owns a 20 percent stake if Solanke moves again.
Solanke has a buyout plan. The deal costs 65 million pounds (or 114 billion won). However, Tottenham plans to set aside the expensive buyout plan. Therefore, they were negotiating with Bournemouth for the transfer fee.
Tottenham lost Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) last summer. Postecoglou, however, managed Son Heung-min and Hisalysong without reinforcing his capacity, and Dejan Kulusevski as one-top players at the end of the season. However, the team cannot delay it any longer.
With Hishalisson staying, Tottenham’s plan to recruit Solanke is also inevitable. In the end, it is a matter of funds, because Chairman Daniel Levy is unlikely to throw a game.
Another alternative is Jonathan David (Lille). David, who played an active role in Copa America as a member of the Canadian national team, debuted as a professional player in 2018 as a native of Belgium’s Hent Youth.
He moved to the French Ligue 1 Lille in August 2020. David has scored 26 goals in all tournaments in the last two consecutive seasons at Lille, recognizing his goal talent. 토토사이트
Currently, Lille has given permission to transfer David. David is under contract with Lille until June 2025. He will be released as a free agent with no transfer fee next summer.
His biggest attraction is his low transfer fee. David reportedly pays around 25 million pounds (about 45 billion won).
European transfer market expert Ben Jacobs recently said, “There were rumors that David would transfer to Tottenham a year ago. However, the transfer fee was too high,” adding, “The current situation is different. In the meantime, many people must have said, ‘It’s not a Levi’s deal or it’s not Levi’s price. In the case of David, it’s Levi’s deal, and it’s Levi’s price.”
