Every word Richarlison said on Tottenham offer, why he might cry, trophies and Ancelotti message

New Tottenham signing Richarlison has stated he "couldn't believe it" when the offer from Spurs came in to sign him. Making a huge impact at Everton over the past four seasons, the Brazilian joined the Lilywhites last week in a deal which could eventually cost £60m including add-ons.

Handed the club's famous No.9 shirt, Tottenham fans will get the opportunity to see him play for the first time next week on the summer tour of South Korea. Linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs in recent years, the attacker said he got chills in his stomach once he arrived at his new club.

"I'm very happy for this moment. I remember when I was in Brazil and the offer from Tottenham came I couldn't believe it. And after I signed the contract, even more so because it feels like a dream. When I arrived here it gave me chills in my stomach to see my new teammates and a new home," he said in his first interview as a Tottenham player.
