Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison remains frozen out at the club after rejecting a permanent transfer to Brazilian side Vasco da Gama. Vasco sporting director Admar Lopes confirmed that the club agreed to terms with Tottenham and made a formal purchase offer, but the 29-year-old player refused the move, stating it was not the right time to return to Brazil.
