Richarlison is more than ever leaving Tottenham. Since the start of the summer, the Brazilian has shown signs of weariness of being at the club and has even expressed his intentions to Roberto De Zerbi. Obviously, the Italian is not counting on the striker for the coming season. He was not even included on the list of players able to participate in the Premier League. “ Richardson decided everything alone. He spoke to me at the start of pre-season, he told me of his desire to leave. We went and signed another striker and, as I said at the start of pre-season, I only want to keep the players who have the real desire to stay here », Explained the coach at a press conference, on the eve of a trip to Nottingham Forest.
The former Everton player could have returned to the Toffees during this transfer window. The matter did not go to the end and here he is today with prospects limited to countries where the transfer window is still open. He is also being courted by teams in TĂĽrkiye such as Trabzonspor. “I don’t know if there is an offer from TĂĽrkiye but I know there was an offer before the end of the transfer market but he did not accept that offer”continued De Zerbi at a press conference, visibly annoyed by the Richarlison subject. “ He made the decision on his own. Neither me nor the club. You can’t ask me any more questions. I didn’t make that decision. I am not responsible for this situation. »
Can Mudryk change everything?
On the other hand, he is responsible for the fact that Tottenham has not yet won a single point since the start of the season, despite an expensive transfer window, the 3rd largest amount spent in the Premier League behind Manchester City and Chelsea. With in the home stretch the arrivals of Tosin Adarabioyo and especially Mykhailo Mudryk, whom De Zerbi had trained with Shakhtar Donetsk. Having returned from long months of suspension for doping, the player is not yet fit to play a full match but he could well make an appearance despite everything.
“He is ready, right now, to play 20, 15 or 30 minutes. (…) He’s a great player. He must live this season and carry it out in the right way; without too much pressure, but by seizing the opportune moment to show what he is capable of. If Chelsea spent 100 million four years ago… they recruited a lot of very great players. If they spent this amount, it is because they had thought carefully about Mudryk’s qualities.”slipped De Zerbi, who will hope that his old nugget already gets him out of his bad inaugural series.
