Former Brazilian footballer Edmundo has sparked speculation around Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison, suggesting that the striker could be a future target for Vasco da Gama.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Edmundo referred to Richarlison as a “dream” signing for the Brazilian club, hinting that a potential transfer could be a possibility in the coming years.
Edmundo, who had a successful career with Vasco da Gama, discussed the club’s intent to bolster its squad with marquee signings, emphasising Richarlison as a key option for their forward line.
This isn’t the first time the Brazilian club has been linked with the Tottenham striker, as Richarlison was reportedly a summer target for Vasco. However, those rumours were quickly dismissed by the player’s representatives.
Saudi Pro League clubs were among the most likely to make a move for him. In the end, no concrete offer arrived for the striker and he ended up staying at the club.
Edmundo sparks speculations after name-dropping Richarlison
But Edmundo has now sparked speculations once again after name-dropping him among those who could be targeted by the Brazilian club.
As quoted by CNN Brasil, the 53-year-old stated:
“Now, the idea is to keep all the main players and hire two or three heavyweight players. One for the defence, one for the midfield and two for the attack. Heavyweight like Richarlison. I’m dreaming and I can guarantee that 2025 will be different.”
