Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has said that Aston Villa have the loudest fans in the Premier League.

The £60 million man was asked in an interview with Copa90 which English top flight supporters make the most noise.

He had a shout out for Everton fans, whom he of course played in front of while inspiring the Toffees to survival last season.

Villa got the nod but Richarlison will have to wait until May to play at Villa Park in the Premier League again with Spurs.

Richarlison on Villa fans

When the question was put to him, he said: “Aston Villa. I was really impressed.

“They made so much noise. Sometimes I felt like I was going to be deaf. The whistles as well. It’s too loud for me.

“I have to say Everton as well, especially when we needed it most at the end of last season. The supporters really came together for the team.

“It was the strength of Goodison Park which fuelled the team to get the points we needed to stay up.”

Villa host Spurs in the closing weeks of the season in what could be a crucial game for both clubs and the atmosphere should be bouncing.

Between now and then, Richarlison is hoping to be fit for the World Cup with Brazil after limping off against his old club on Saturday.

Villa travel to Fulham tonight looking for a result to ease the pressure on Steven Gerrard, while Richarlison missed Spurs’ 2-0 loss to Manchester United last night.
