Richarlison hits out at Premier League after Everton player announcement
Richarlison has shocked spectators with his impressive start to Tottenham’s season.
It was not too long ago that Richarlison was set to leave Tottenham. However, the Brazilian has since turned things around.
Richarlison netted two spectacular goals for Spurs against Burnley in a game where he and Mohammed Kudus stole the show. He then continued his fine form into Spurs’ win over Manchester City at the Etihad .
Despite the Lilywhites’ disappointing defeat to Bournemouth, the striker went into the international break as a new player. As such, the latest Premier League announcement has taken him by surprise.
Richarlison responds to Jack Grealish Player of the Month award
Despite his stellar start to the season, Richarlison was not nominated for the EA Sports Premier League Player of the Month award.
From an eight-man shortlist, Jack Grealish was announced as the winner on Friday, 12 September. Grealish was linked with Tottenham throughout the summer, but agreed a loan move with Everton towards the end of the window.
- Grealish assisted twice in Everton’s wins over Brighton and Wolves
- The winger has played 196 minutes in the Premier League this season
Destiny Udogie posted a video of Richarlison’s reaction via Snapchat, in which he joked about the Premier League clearly not liking him.
He said: “The Premier League don’t like me. This is impossible!”
Is Richarlison on track to surpass his Tottenham record from last season?
Injuries and poor form meant that Richarlison was unable to perform at his best for Spurs during the 2024/25 season.
- Richarlison missed 37 games for Tottenham due to injury last season
- The Brazilian made 22 appearances in a season where Spurs lifted the UEFA Europa League
Richarlison netted four goals for Spurs in the Premier League last season during a difficult campaign. This season, he has already netted two goals in three league games under Thomas Frank.
This surpasses both his 2023/24 and 2024/25 first three games, where he recorded zero goal contributions. With him already scoring half his tally from last season, the Brazilian is on the right track to having an unforgettable year.
However, after years of disappointment, Spurs supporters will be hoping injuries do not strike once again.
