Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho and Tottenham star Richarlison targeted for Saudi Arabia January transfers

Jadon Sancho and Richarlison are being targeted by clubs in Saudi Arabia for January transfers, talkSPORT understands.

The pair are long-term targets for the Saudi Pro League and interest is set to be ramped up when the transfer window opens.

talkSPORT reported in October that a move to Saudi is the most likely option for Manchester United outcast Sancho.

The 23-year-old is desperate to leave Old Trafford following a highly-publicised fallout with manager Erik ten Hag.

He has been banished from the United first-team and all signs are pointing to a January exit.

Former club Borussia Dortmund had shown interest, but his £250,000-a-week wages remain prohibitive.

That’s where Saudi clubs can step in and one made a late loan bid for the winger in the summer.

talkSPORT understands that heading to the Middle East remains an option for Sancho.

Tottenham star Richarlison has also been a long-term target for Saudi Arabian clubs.

A move to Al Hilal is a possibility if Spurs were open to letting him leave the club.

The 26-year-old has made 10 total appearances for the club in the Premier League this season, but has scored just once.

He is currently out injured and after surgery on a groin issue.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has preferred Heung-Min Son to the Brazilian through the middle, while Brennan Johnson came into the team on the left after his injury.
