Thomas Frank could offer Richarlison route out of Tottenham amid advanced talks

Richarlison could leave Tottenham for Crystal Palace if Thomas Frank is appointed manager; talks over Frank's appointment are advanced.

Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after five months in charge, with the club bottom of the Premier League. Thomas Frank, who was dismissed by Tottenham in February after seven months, is in advanced talks to replace Sage at Selhurst Park.

Richarlison, the Brazilian striker, could follow Frank to Palace as a route out of Tottenham. The 29-year-old has made just one senior appearance this season under Roberto De Zerbi and is desperate to leave. Frank previously got the best out of Richarlison, who scored eight goals and provided three assists in 31 games under the Dane's management.

With Richarlison's contract expiring next summer and failed moves to Everton, Vasco da Gama and Trabzonspor, Tottenham are expected to accept a reduced fee. Palace are looking to improve their attacking output, with Eddie Nketiah, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Jean-Philippe Mateta all struggling for goals this season.
