Richarlison’s Tottenham career could soon finally take off as rumour now emerges from Tottenham

It is safe to say Richarlison has struggled at Tottenham.

Spurs paid £60m to sign the Brazilian from Everton back in July 2022 after his impressive stint at Everton – where he scored 53 goals in 152 appearances and also became the outright No.9 for Brazil.

However, the South American has failed to make a similar impact in north London, netting just 18 goals in 80 games for Tottenham – while also missing 58 games through injury.

However, Richarlison could soon receive a lifeline in his Tottenham career – amid rumours Spurs are considering Marco Silva as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou.

Marco Silva could ignite Richarlison at Tottenham

TBR Football understand Silva is under consideration at Spurs amid doubts over the future of Postecoglou – following a dismal campaign which has Tottenham sat 14th in the Premier League at the time of writing.

Interestingly, it was the Portuguese tactician who signed Richarlison for Everton – having also worked with him at Watford – and proceeded to coach some very impressive performances out of the Brazil international.

The man from Nova Venecia scored 26 goals in 82 appearances under Silva – more than he has netted under any other manager throughout his career – while also providing seven assists, form which later tempted Tottenham into spending £60m on his signature.

Of course, Tottenham is an entirely different landscape than Watford or Everton, with loftier ambitions.

However, the mere presence of a familiar face in Silva – who has got more out of Richarlison than any other manager since the forward turned professional – would suggest this appointment has as good a chance of revitalising the Brazilian than any other.

What Richarlison has said about Marco Silva – and vice versa

Richarlison has already admitted that he sees Silva – who Mikel Arteta admires – as an influential figure.

After sealing his move to Everton, the 27-year-old said: “I think it is going to be important for me here to be with Marco Silva again… I’ve known the manager for a while obviously, so I know how he works. I developed really well with him while he was with me at Watford. It was really good working with him.”

The feeling is mutual, with the 47-year-old previously adding: “He’s a talent, it’s easy for you to understand that, but he’s not only a talent. He’s a player who comes every day to work hard, to learn as well.”

Could the pair reunite at Tottenham this summer? Only time will tell.
