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 Β£60m to sign the Brazilian from Everton back in July 2022 after his impressive stint at Everton β 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 β while also missing 58 games through injury.
However, Richarlison could soon receive a lifeline in his Tottenham career β 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 β 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 β having also worked with him at Watford β 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 β more than he has netted under any other manager throughout his career β while also providing seven assists, form which later tempted Tottenham into spending Β£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 β who has got more out of Richarlison than any other manager since the forward turned professional β would suggest this appointment has as good a chance of revitalising the Brazilian than any other.
What Richarlison has said about Marco Silva β and vice versa
Richarlison has already admitted that he sees Silva β who Mikel Arteta admires β as an influential figure.

After sealing his move to Everton, the 27-year-old said: βI think it is going to be important for me here to be with Marco Silva againβ¦ Iβve 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.β
The feeling is mutual, with the 47-year-old previously adding: βHeβs a talent, itβs easy for you to understand that, but heβs not only a talent. Heβs a player who comes every day to work hard, to learn as well.β
Could the pair reunite at Tottenham this summer? Only time will tell.
