Quick Summary

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that Richarlison, Pape Sarr, and Kevin Danso want to leave the team before the deadline. However, this article does not provide information on a potential triple transfer deal involving Iliman Ndiaye as its headline suggests. Instead, it reports on Everton's attempts to re-sign Richarlison in a separate deal, while also discussing Tottenham's willingness to let their players leave if they can secure an economic solution for the club. According to De Zerbi, three of his players have expressed interest in leaving.

Story summary

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that three of his players, Richarlison, Pape Sarr, and Kevin Danso, want to leave the team before the transfer deadline. Meanwhile, Everton is trying to bring back Richarlison in a separate deal, and also wants to sign Iliman Ndiaye, who has rejected contract offers from the club over the last 12 months. De Zerbi said that if players want to leave, they need to provide an economic solution for their departure, but it seems likely that all three will be allowed to leave the team.

🔮 Despite stealing in ahead of Lisandro Martinez to score a stoppage-time equaliser which lifted Spurs off the foot of the Premier League table, Solanke knew he could and probably should have had a hat-trick.
