Sheringham: Spurs should go for Klinsmann-type signing - not Richarlison

Former Tottenham striker Teddy Sheringham insists they should shoot higher than Everton ace Richarlison.

Sheringham says Spurs should seek another 'Jurgen Klinsmann-type' signing.

He told Lord Ping: "I don't think he's what is needed now.

"Tottenham have got good attacking players; [Harry] Kane, [Heung-min] Son, [Dejan] Kulusevski, [Steven] Bergwijn is still there, [Lucas] Moura is still there. We've got players in the Richarlison mold and I don't think he would be a statement signing that would get teams worried.

"If they were to sign him, what would the result be? In my day, when we signed [Jurgen] Klinsmann, a proper World Class player, everyone in the dressing room was buzzing.

"We knew what we were going to get from him. You need players that are going to take you to the next level and I don't think Richarlison is one of them."
