Striker Richarlison says he wants to stay at Tottenham Hotspur after turning down a move to Saudi Arabia.

The Brazil forward, 27, joined Spurs from Everton in 2022 for a club-record fee of £60m.

He has scored 15 goals in 66 appearances for Tottenham and was not a regular last season under Ange Postecoglou.

Richarlison, whose contract runs until 2027, has attracted interest from a number of clubs in Saudi Arabia, with one unnamed team tabling a bid.

However he says he wants to remain in England in order to improve his chances of continuing his international career with Brazil.

"There has been an offer but my dream of playing for the Brazilian Selecao and in the Premier League speaks louder," Richarlison told ESPN Brazil, external.

Spurs are interested in signing a striker this summer and have identified Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke as a target.

However the Cherries are keen to keep Solanke, who scored 21 goals in 42 games for Bournemouth last season but was overlooked for England's Euro 2024 squad.

He has a £65m release clause in his Bournemouth contract - which has three years left on it - but Tottenham value the striker at a lower price.

Tottenham have identified Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke as a major target before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

The 26-year-old is believed to be ready to take the next step and join a club playing in Europe to help boost his England chances.

Bournemouth are not welcoming any interest in Solanke, who they have under contract until 2027.

It is only the presence of a £65m release clause that could force them to sell the former Liverpool forward, who scored 21 goals in 42 games last season.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said last week that trying to sign a forward was a "focus".

"It's still the area of the park we're really probably the thinnest," he said.

Tottenham have interest in alternative options - including Lille's Jonathan David - and are also open to signing a winger.

Richarlison faces an uncertain future amid reported interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, and Spurs are keen to sign another striker whether or not the Brazilian leaves.

Forwards Bryan Gil and Alejo Veliz have already joined Girona and Espanyol respectively on season-long loan deals, though youngsters such as Dane Scarlett, Will Lankshear, Jamie Donley and Mikey Moore are all pushing for squad roles.

Tottenham slipped to their first defeat of pre-season as they were beaten 2-1 by Bayern Munich in front of a 67,000 sell-out crowd in Seoul.

Son Heung-min, James Maddison and summer signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall all featured for Spurs, who were outplayed by the Bundesliga giants despite the absence of Harry Kane.

Gabriel Vidovic capitalised on a poor pass out from Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to give Bayern an early lead, and Leon Goretzka doubled their advantage after the break.

Pedro Porro's 25-yard strike reduced the arrears but Spurs were unable to find an equaliser against Bayern, who also gave former Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha a second-half run out.

Ange Postecoglou's side are next in action on Saturday, 10 August, when they will face Bayern again at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (17:30 BST).

Elsewhere, Newcastle suffered a 2-0 loss to Yokohama F Marinos in the final match of their tour of Japan.

Goals from Brazilian winger Elber and midfielder Jun Amano proved enough for the J League club in Tokyo as Lloyd Kelly made his first appearance in Newcastle colours.

Plans to double the number of "major non-football events" at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have been approved by Haringey Council.

Tottenham Hotspur applied to increase the annual limit on large events like music concerts and boxing matches from 16 to 30, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

It comes after the north London stadium breached its licence by selling tickets to a fifth Beyoncé concert in 2023.

Lady Gaga, Guns N' Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers have been among those to perform at the venue since it opened in 2019.

During a meeting of Haringey's planning sub-committee, councillors raised concerns over noise pollution, ticket touting, littering and the impact on traffic and transport.

Gavin Douglas, head of the council's regulatory services, said regulating events was "a full-on operation, a real mixture of different issues that tend to happen".

"It does have a direct effect on the council’s revenue account," he said.

He added there would be an additional cost to "regulate it [the proposal] properly" by keeping officers available to "mitigate the issues", adding "we simply don’t have the budget in order to do it".

Two committee members proposed deferring the plan’s decision due to the amount of concerns raised, and Bruce Castle ward councillor Ibrahim Ali, who attended as a non-member, suggested the plans were "contentious".

“People do want to see events, they see it as a way of driving jobs, driving opportunities to the area, driving attractions - but I do think in an ideal world we should have had a lot of these things addressed before reviewing this application today so people can see examples of this working in practice,” he said.

Donna Cullen, executive director of Tottenham Hotspur, subsequently agreed to contribute £4,000 for each additional event over the previous limit of 16 events.

This was the sum the council had previously estimated was required.

She said: “I do not want to be in a position where the council is saying to us they have costs we’re not covering or meeting, but I do want to better understand those costs and that they’re properly applied, so that we can get to our review at the end of the year and know that everybody stepped up to do what was needed in the interests of the neighbourhood.”

Following this, councillors voted unanimously to approve the application.

Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham edged past a team of the best players from South Korea's top flight to secure a 4-3 friendly win.

Dejan Kulusevski opened the scoring after 29 minutes before South Korea and Spurs captain Son made his mark on his homecoming in Seoul.

He curled an effort into the top corner after 38 minutes and slotted home a Kulusevski assist to give his side a 3-0 lead by the break.

But Team K League pulled two back in the second half after replacing their entire team at the break with Stanislav Iljutcenko netting twice within five minutes of the restart.

That prompted Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou to make changes and substitute Will Lankshear volleyed home a Timo Werner cross to give them a two-goal cushion.

Oberdan responded for the hosts with nine minutes left to play but Spurs held on to seal victory, with James Maddison hitting the post in injury time.

They are back in pre-season action on Saturday, when they take on Bayern Munich at 12:00 BST in Seoul.

'O’Reilly will be a player'

Barcelona 2-2 Man City (4-1 on pens)

Pep Guardiola is confident midfielder Nico O'Reilly will be "a player" after the 19-year-old impressed against Barcelona.

O'Reilly is yet to make his competitive senior debut, which looks likely to come this season.

"We saw it last season in training with us, he is a guy who will be a player," Guardiola said.

"His presence and maturity with and without the ball. Many, many good things.

"I am pretty sure he can help and play with us. He can maybe play a role in holding midfield when Rodri isn't there.

"He is big and a good header, he is so strong in the duels and moves well in the small spaces.

"Can do a dual position of attacking and holding midfielder."

Haaland 'muscular niggles' confirmed

Barcelona 2-2 Man City (4-1 on pens)

"We don't want to take risks but sooner or later we have to take a step to training and playing minutes.

"The season is around the corner, but he has muscular niggles and I don't want to take a risk as if we lose him for three weeks or a month then that would be a big, big problem."
