The Story in 60 Seconds

Richarlison has responded publicly on social media after Duncan Ferguson speculated that a training ground fight led to the forward's exile at Tottenham Hotspur. Ferguson suggested manager Roberto De Zerbi must have clashed severely with the Brazilian, stating a player of his caliber would not be dropped unless there was a scrap. Richarlison endorsed the comments on Instagram, sharing the quotes and writing, "Thanks @duncan9ferguson. You are right."

The 29-year-old forward has made only one Premier League appearance this season and has been playing with Tottenham's under-21 squad. The social media post follows a collapsed summer transfer to Everton, after which Richarlison claimed he refused to let others dictate his future while confirming he remains available under his Spurs contract.
