What did Richarlison say surrounding his future?

Over the summer, the Brazilian was linked with several clubs, including several in Turkey. 

He continued, "But I've always been focused on Tottenham, and I've never had a conversation about leaving. I'm in a good moment. I hope to continue working hard and getting the opportunity to give my best.

"I'm very happy to be back. After a long time, I was able to do a full pre-season."

Richarlison scored a brace against Burnley in Tottenham's Premier League opener, followed by an assist in the win against City. 

Richarlison spoke on what pre-season did for him and said, " Since the PSG game, I’ve been playing with a rhythm that I’ve not had for a while – so I’ve been able to get into that.

"I’ve been able to play a good game, and this is the result of a pre-season that was very good for me.

"Now I want to be able to continue like this and play like this. There's been a lot of meetings, but I like that, meetings every day.

"I’m improving the tactical part, and I’m training well to improve – hopefully that comes in handy for our defenders.

"When it was our second goal, we were able to steal the ball, and the goal came out. As I said, I’m going to continue like this, working hard, and hopefully things will happen."
