‘Get rid of him’: Jamie O’Hara says he wants Tottenham to sell £60m player immediately

Tottenham Hotspur are heading into the final stretch of the summer transfer window with several major decisions still hanging in the balance. The North London club, now under the guidance of Thomas Frank, have already made a number of changes to the squad, but there is a growing sense that the Lilywhites are not quite finished with their business—both in terms of fresh arrivals and potential departures.

 

One of the most significant stories revolves around Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who has been strongly linked with a move to Spurs. The attacking midfielder has been admired by the club for several windows now, and reports suggest Tottenham are edging closer to securing his signature before the deadline. Bringing in a player of Eze’s creativity and flair would be a major statement of intent as Frank continues to shape the squad in his image.

 

However, transfers are never just about who comes in—they are also about who goes out. A handful of current players face uncertain futures, with some at risk of being moved on to balance the squad and free up space for new recruits. One such player is Manor Solomon, who has endured a difficult spell in North London due to injuries and inconsistency. His name has been floated around as someone who could be moved before the window slams shut.

 

Adding to the debate is former Tottenham midfielder and now pundit Jamie O’Hara, who recently shared his strong views on Sky Sports regarding who Spurs should keep and who should be sold. Taking part in a challenge where he was asked to choose the fate of various Tottenham players, O’Hara did not hold back—and his most controversial take centered on Richarlison.

 

The Brazilian striker, who joined Spurs for a hefty £60 million fee, has divided opinion ever since his arrival from Everton. While some fans admire his work rate and physical presence, others remain unconvinced by his goal return and overall contribution. O’Hara firmly placed himself in the latter camp, insisting that Richarlison should be sold before the deadline.

 

“Go, get rid of him,” O’Hara declared. “He played alright in the Super Cup final, but I’m not convinced, I’ve never been convinced—go.”

 

Richarlison, however, was not the only name on O’Hara’s chopping block. The outspoken pundit also suggested that Radu Dragusin, Wilson Odobert, and Ben Davies should all be moved on as part of Tottenham’s squad overhaul.

 

The inclusion of Ben Davies may raise eyebrows among the fanbase, given that the Welshman has been a loyal servant to the club for over a decade. His versatility and professionalism have often been praised, but O’Hara argued that at 31, the time may be right for Spurs to look ahead to younger options.

 

Meanwhile, the calls to sell Dragusin and Odobert seem particularly harsh. Both players have struggled with injuries since joining the club, limiting their opportunities to make an impact. Yet O’Hara stressed that ruthlessness is sometimes necessary if Tottenham are to push on and re-establish themselves as a top-four regular.

 

While not everyone will agree with O’Hara’s proposed clear-out, his comments underline the sense of urgency around Spurs’ transfer dealings. Frank and his recruitment team must strike a delicate balance: strengthening the squad with key additions like Eze while making difficult calls on players who may no longer fit the club’s long-term vision.

 

With just days left in the window, Tottenham fans can expect more twists and turns. Will Eze arrive to provide that extra spark? Will Richarlison be shown the door as O’Hara suggests? And will other fringe players also depart to streamline the squad?

 

One thing is certain—Tottenham’s final week of transfer business promises to be as dramatic as ever, and the decisions made could go a long way in shaping the success of their season.
