Herald Sun journalist Sam Edmund has revealed that wantaway Gold Coast star Tom Lynch is leaning towards a move to reigning premiers Richmond.
Lynch’s future has been one of intense speculation since he announced he would be leaving the Suns and exploring his options as a free agent.
The 25-year-old has been linked to both Collingwood and Hawthorn, but a move to Punt Road is starting to look increasingly likely. Nothing will be officially announced until the conclusion of the Tigers' finals campaign.
“He hasn’t decided yet is the official word but quote on quote: leaning towards Richmond,” Edmund told SEN Breakfast.
“Richmond, as we know, have done a lot of movement in that space; the front ending contracts of their biggest paid players.
“What I can tell you with absolute certainty is that we won’t hear an official word or the words come out of Tom Lynch’s mouth that he has decided Richmond until Richmond are eliminated from the finals race or win the Grand Final.
“That is the official word.”
Lynch has played 131 games and booted 254 goals for the Suns since making his debut in 2011.
