Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a significant double blow ahead of their Premier League meeting with Everton, as both Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie were excluded from the matchday squad. The absence of the first-choice full-back pairing comes after head coach Roberto De Zerbi issued a stern warning regarding their physical condition during his pre-match duties.
Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has revealed he was incredibly close to joining Brazilian side Vasco da Gama before the transfer window closed. The Brazil international claimed his dream move collapsed at the final hurdle due to loan limits set by the Premier League club.
Richarlison's anticipated transfer to Vasco da Gama has collapsed after negotiations over personal terms hit a stumbling block. The Brazil international is now expected to remain at Tottenham Hotspur following a turbulent period that saw him left out of the Premier League squad, with ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future and a potential legal battle over his contract.
Roberto De Zerbi is under mounting pressure at Tottenham Hotspur following an abysmal start to the new campaign. After spending huge sums in the summer window, the club have managed just one point from three matches without scoring a goal. Critics are now questioning the massive control handed to the manager over recruitment, predicting severe consequences for the team.
