I Joined Tottenham Because The Club Was Decisive – Richarlison

Tottenham striker, Richarlison has come out to explain why he ended up at Tottenham over Arsenal or Chelsea. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he was aware that Chelsea made an offer and Arsenal contacted Everton to ask about his situation, but he chose Spurs because the club was decisive and paid the required fee.

Richarlison added that he was happy when he heard Spurs placed a bid because they are a huge team.

His words, “I know Chelsea made an offer, and I believe Arsenal also contacted Everton to ask about my situation, but Spurs came in and paid the fee, you know? It’s as simple as that. Everton had to sell some players to avoid a Financial Fair Play problem, and the negotiations were very brief, to be honest.”

“I was on holiday in Brazil when I heard that Tottenham had made Everton an offer. I was happy because they are a huge team. Then it was all about the clubs negotiating a deal, and fortunately, everything went well. Antonio Conte called me during the negotiations and expressed how much he’d like to have me on board – that was vital for my decision.”
