Which move is best for Richarlison – Tottenham, Arsenal or Chelsea? Well, location does not matter given all are in London. Tottenham and Chelsea are in the Champions League next season.
But at Spurs, Richarlison might struggle to start. He would not be above Harry Kane or Son Heung-min and Antonio Conte might prefer Dejan Kuluesvski on the right. It would be a close battle between the two.
Chelsea are about to wave goodbye to Romelu Lukaku and Richarlison is a solid replacement – but he would still have to compete with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz. At Arsenal, he would easily be first choice.
Chelsea and Arsenal are his best bets – so, what does he prefer? Chelsea, where he might not start every game but would be in the Champions League – or Arsenal, starting every game, but only in the Europa League?
