Richarlison is not planning on going anywhere in the final three weeks of the summer transfer window. The Tottenham striker has had a torrid time with injuries since moving to the club from Everton in a £60million deal in 2022.

The Brazilian did enjoy his best stint in a Spurs shirt last season, hitting a purple patch in December, January and the start of February when he scored nine goals in eight games.

But he only played eight more games after that, with his season cut short by injury, as has been the case for much of his time in north London.

Spurs have been linked with signing another striker this summer, having not replaced Harry Kane after he left the club for Bayern Munich in a £100million last summer. Dominic Solanke, Viktor Gyokeres and Jonathan David have all been linked with a move to N17.

But whoever comes through the door at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before Friday, August 30's deadline will have to do battle with Richarlison for the starting spot at the club. That is because the 27-year-old has no intention of leaving.

The Brazilian frontman has been linked with a mega-money move to the Saudi Pro League, with plenty of rumours flying around that he was the next player on their list to coax over to the Middle East.

In an interview with ESPN Brasil, Richarlison was asked about his plans for the transfer window, and Richarlison said: "The money is big but my dreams are bigger. An offer has arrived, but my dream is of playing for the Brazilian national team and the Premier League is louder. It’s decided."
