Roberto De Zerbi has axed Richarlison from the Tottenham Hotspur Premier League squad following the Brazilian’s repeated demands to leave North London during the summer transfer window.
Taking to social media platform X, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the reports that Richarlison has been completely omitted from Tottenham’s official 25-man Premier League squad list for the campaign.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi took the decisive measure after revealing that the 29-year-old forward had requested a move away from the club on multiple occasions.
With the domestic English deadline closed and De Zerbi focusing on new attacking additions, Richarlison has been left completely frozen out of first-team selection in North London.

“Richarlison, I don’t know. He said too many times he wants to leave,” De Zerbi revealed (as quoted by ESPN)
The head coach made it clear that while he respects the player, any exit relied on a suitable financial resolution, ultimately leading to his complete exclusion from the Premier League roster when no domestic deal materialized.
