Richarlison declares "lack of ambition" at Everton was behind Tottenham transfer

Richarlison has revealed he left Everton for Tottenham in the summer because the Merseyside club "had a lack of ambition".

Champions League hopefuls Spurs signed Richarlison, 25, from the Toffees in a £60million deal in July. The Brazil international, who is expected to be part of his country's squad for this year's World Cup in Qatar, agreed a five-year contract with Antonio Conte's side.

Richarlison was a fan favourite at Goodison Park, playing a crucial role in their Premier League survival last season. He scored 53 goals in 152 games for Everton after arriving from Watford in July 2018. He's previously played for America Miniero and Fluminense.
