Tottenham Target Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, But Face Major Hurdle
Tottenham Hotspur are eager to sign Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz this summer as they continue their search for a reliable goal-scorer following Harry Kane’s departure in 2023.
The North London club has yet to find a consistent replacement for their former talisman, and newly appointed manager Thomas Frank is expected to prioritize the addition of a traditional number nine to fit his tactical setup.
Dominic Solanke, who joined last summer in a high-profile move, endured a difficult start to life at Spurs.
The England international struggled to find form early in the season and couldn’t initially replicate his performances from Bournemouth.
However, he managed to turn things around in the latter half of the campaign, playing a key role in Tottenham’s Europa League triumph.
In contrast, Richarlison has failed to make a meaningful impact.
The Brazilian spent much of last season on the sidelines due to a long-term injury and lost his place in the squad under former manager Ange Postecoglou after returning.
At 28, Richarlison has yet to establish himself as a dependable option at the club and may be on his way out this summer.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Richarlison’s future and the need to push Solanke, Tottenham are actively seeking a new striker to enhance their attacking options.
Muniz has been identified as a top target, with reports suggesting that the Fulham forward is open to a new challenge—particularly with the opportunity to play Champions League football.
However, Spurs have encountered a significant setback in their pursuit. According to Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas (via X), Fulham have no intention of selling the 24-year-old.
Manager Marco Silva sees Muniz as a vital part of his squad and the club is prepared to resist any offers during the transfer window.
