Richarlison posts cryptic message as Everton return agreed and Tottenham exit nears | OneFootball

Richarlison has sparked intrigue with a cryptic social post as his Tottenham exit edges closer. According to Goal.com, an agreement has been reached for the 29-year-old to rejoin Everton, with Iliman Ndiaye expected to move the other way. He has been phased out of Roberto De Zerbi’s first-team plans.

Twenty-four hours after Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat at Newcastle, the Brazilian shared a photo from last season with a thinking emoji, then followed with the line: “I am the villain of many poorly told stories.” Among 40,000 likes was team-mate Xavi Simons.

Squad harmony at Spurs has been strained by players seeking exits, with Richarlison repeatedly expressing a desire to leave. Danso asked to go two days earlier and Pape Sarr did likewise while nursing a minor injury.

The move back to Merseyside, and Ndiaye’s switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, are subject to medicals and the finalisation of personal terms. There is considerable optimism both transfers will be completed without late hitches.

Richarlison arrived in 2022 and has produced 32 goals and 15 assists in all competitions since his £60m transfer. He helped Tottenham secure the Europa League trophy, though his spell has been inconsistent and relations with the hierarchy have recently deteriorated.
