Richarlison: Reports of Tottenham unrest ´fake news´

Richarlison has described reports suggesting he is unhappy at Tottenham as “fake news”, insisting he will still be playing in the Premier League next season.

Richarlison enjoyed a vastly improved season in 2023-24, scoring 11 Premier League goals after only netting once in his first campaign with Spurs in 2022-23.

However, injuries prevented the Brazil international from finishing the campaign strongly and reports have suggested Spurs are in the market for a new striker.

They have also agreed to bring Timo Werner back from RB Leipzig on another season-long loan deal with a view to a permanent move.

Some had suggested Richarlison could be a victim of an overhaul as Ange Postecoglou looks to put his stamp on the squad, but the former Everton man says he is going nowhere.

In a post to X, Richarlison wrote: “I gave up my vacation and came to work in Sao Paulo so I could return well and ready for the next season.

“I never said I was dissatisfied at my club, and everything that has been coming out in the media here about negotiations is fake news.

“I don’t know where they got that from! I won’t leave England next season!”

Abri mão das minhas férias e vim trabalhar em SP pra poder voltar bem e pronto para a próxima temporada.

Nunca disse que estava insatisfeito no meu clube, e tudo o que vem saindo na mídia daqui sobre negociações é fake news. Não sei de onde tiraram isso!

Não sairei da…
