Richarlison became one of the sagas of transfer deadline day, but it now appears the Brazilian has secured a move out of Tottenham
Wantaway Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has agreed to move to Trabzonspor, according to reports. The Brazilian became one of the hottest topics of transfer deadline day.
He looked set for a move back to Everton, a transfer which was being negotiated at the same time as Spurs' attempt to sign Iliman N'Diaye. It was understood Spurs had agreed a deal in principle to sign N'Diaye - who eventually moved to Manchester City for £65m - but were waiting on the Senegal forward to give the green light.
However, Richarlison then made it clear in an explosive Instagram rant he was not moving to Hill Dickinson, before hitting out at the way the club was negotiating with his former club.
With the Turkish transfer window not closing until midnight on September 4, Transfermarkt understands Richarlison could move to Trabzonspor, where he would join Mohamed Salah in an eye-watering front-line.
It's also understood he is set to triple his current Spurs salary, which is believed to be around £100,000 per-week. Spurs are yet to accept a fee from the Turkish side and have reportedly rejected two bids of £15m and £20m.

During pre-season, Roberto De Zerbi said Richarlison had made it clear he is looking to leave the club this summer. Yet, it became apparent Everton was not the destination he wanted to go to.
On social media, in a post which was translated from Portuguese to English, Richarlison wrote: “I've always made it clear, at every opportunity, that any move of mine to another place would also have to be good for the club.
"If it wasn't, I would never accept it. Just like I didn't accept it when everything here was falling apart and they needed me. I stayed and gave my life.
"So, I hope they treat my situation with the same respect that I've always had for the Spurs and for all the people who worked with me during this period. Just don't try to decide for me.”
Spurs did manage to find alternative transfers on deadline day. They secured the surprise signing of Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk, who arrived on loan from the Blues.
He reunites with De Zerbi, whom he worked closely, and successfully with, while at Shakhtar Donetsk together. Mudryk became the latest signing of a window which saw Spurs shatter their record transfer spend.
