What Richarlison transfer means for Tottenham's homegrown numbers and their next signing

Richarlison's arrival at Tottenham Hotspur will provide a boost to Antonio Conte's squad but it also means the club will have to start moving some foreign players out of the door.

Conte needs a stronger squad in order to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League, but with Spurs having had issues in the past with their foreign player limits and their numbers of homegrown talents, the club will also need to address that in the remaining two months of the transfer window.

Now Richarlison will add his name to that list of foreign players and two others who joined this summer in Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma, along with one British arrival in goalkeeper Fraser Forster. The problem for Tottenham's managing director of football Fabio Paratici is that the only player to have left the club so far is an English one in Cameron Carter-Vickers, who joined Celtic permanently after his loan there.
