The Story in 60 Seconds

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison was excluded from the club's 25-man Premier League squad by manager Roberto De Zerbi after requesting a summer departure that failed to materialize. Former manager Tim Sherwood stated he does not sympathize with the forward, noting Richarlison simply fell out of favor following an expected move back to Everton that collapsed.

Richarlison has reportedly explored legal options to determine whether he could terminate his contract, which expires at the end of the season. Tottenham holds an option to extend his deal by an additional 12 months, leaving the 29-year-old sidelined until at least the January transfer window.
