Richarlison has drawn comparisons with Brazil icon Ronaldo Nazario after the Tottenham striker scored a brilliant overhead kick against Burnley on Saturday. The Selecao forward completed his brace around the hour mark with a world-class strike as Thomas Frank's side kicked off the 2025-26 Premier League with a thumping win at home over the Clarets.

Richarlison launched a passionate defence of Tottenham team-mate Mathys Tel after the French forward was targeted with racial abuse following their UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The club also put out a strongly-worded statement expressing their "disgust" at the incident.

The north London rivalry has found a new lease of life on social media after Tottenham forward Richarlison took a cheeky swipe at Arsenal’s Gabriel following their pre-season meeting in Hong Kong. The Brazilian striker, who played a key role in Spurs’ 1-0 win over the Gunners, took to Instagram to share a photo of his Man of the Match trophy and that sparked a online feud between the two stars.

Fluminense have entered the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s Richarlison, joining Palmeiras in pursuit of the Brazil international. With Spurs demanding around £55 million ($74m), both clubs are weighing complex financial structures to land the forward. Richarlison is under contract until 2027, but his emotional ties to Fluminense could prove pivotal in any transfer.

Palmeiras are interested in signing Richarlison from Tottenham this summer and are willing to pay £55 million ($74m), per a new report.
