The Story in 60 Seconds

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to pay Richarlison's basic wages of approximately £1.6m until January after the striker rejected a move to Vasco da Gama. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has made it clear that the 29-year-old is not in his plans, leaving him out of the Premier League squad and matchday lineups.
