Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison made it clear where his allegiances were in the World Cup final

Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison risks the wrath of club captain Cristian Romero when the two reunite for pre-season after the Brazilian celebrated Spain's win over Argentina in the World Cup final.

The 29-year-old was videoed sliding across the floor and punching the air on his partner's Instagram story after Ferran Torres scored for Spain.

The Spurs forward, who scored 11 goals and notched four assists in 32 Premier League appearances last season, was left out of Brazil's squad for the World Cup, but still took time to watch the tournament.

His partner, Amanda Araújo, captured Richarlison's celebration on camera, with his reaction to the goal going viral.

However, he risks the wrath of Spurs captain Romero when the two reunite at the club for pre-season.

The defender was part of the Argentina side that lost in the final, playing 70 minutes before being replaced by Facundo Medina.

Romero had struggled with injuries towards the end of the campaign and they appeared to catch up with him in the final.

Argentina and Brazil are fierce rivals, and there'll certainly be no love lost between Richarlison and Romero when they return to domestic action.

However, there remains a possibility that the two stars may not cross paths again, with doubts over Romero's future at the club.

Roberto De Zerbi's side have already bolstered their back line with the arrivals of Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke.

Reports from Fabrizio Romano claim that Spurs would prefer Romero to continue his career away from the Premier League, rather than sell to a top-flight rival.

Both Inter Milan and Barcelona have been linked with a move for the Argentinian, while Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid are also reportedly interested in his signature this summer.

It's claimed Spurs are holding out for offers in the region of £50million to sell their club captain.
