“Stunning Twist: Thomas Frank Drops Richarlison Bombshell That Could Hand Everton Massive Transfer Boost
While Everton continued their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday, the transfer spotlight turned toward Tottenham Hotspur and their forward Richarlison.
David Moyes’ Everton side gained valuable match fitness ahead of their upcoming U.S. tour, but with new signings still needed, time is running short for reinforcements to arrive before the Summer Series.
One name heavily linked with a Goodison Park return is Richarlison, whose future at Spurs seems increasingly uncertain.
Tottenham also played a friendly on Saturday, taking on Reading. Notably, Richarlison was left out of the squad altogether — a decision that may speak volumes.
New Spurs manager Thomas Frank appears to be making early judgments about his squad, and the exclusion of the Brazilian forward has raised eyebrows, especially as youth players like Mikey Moore were preferred.
Despite returning to training at Hotspur Way on schedule, Richarlison wasn’t included in the matchday squad.
Reports suggest this wasn’t due to injury, with trusted journalist Alasdair Gold confirming that the 28-year-old was deliberately omitted by Frank.
The decision has fueled speculation about a potential exit. With Mohammed Kudus already integrated into the team, Richarlison may no longer feature in the manager’s plans. A move back to Everton, or even a return to Brazil with Palmeiras, has been rumored as his next step.
Whether a transfer is imminent or if Frank is simply unimpressed with the forward’s preseason form remains unclear. But with each passing week, Richarlison’s role at Tottenham appears increasingly fragile.
