Mini bio
How it started.
Richarlison grew up in Nova Venécia and played youth football for Real Noroeste and América Mineiro. He made his professional debut in July 2015, then joined Fluminense in January 2016. A place in the Campeonato Carioca Team of the Year helped mark his early progress.
Finding his place.
Watford brought him to England in 2017, and he appeared in every Premier League match that season. He moved to Everton in 2018 and scored twice on his debut against Wolves. Tottenham signed him in July 2022; two headers against Marseille soon gave him his first Spurs goals on his Champions League debut.
Brazil’s number nine.
He scored in Brazil’s victorious 2019 Copa América final and finished as the leading scorer when Brazil won Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020. At the 2022 World Cup, his bicycle kick against Serbia won FIFA’s public vote for Goal of the Tournament.
The latest chapter.
Richarlison helped Tottenham win the Europa League in 2025 and scored 12 goals in 43 appearances during 2025/26. He remained at Spurs after the summer 2026 transfer window, was omitted from their Premier League squad, and scored for the under-21s at Cheltenham in October.
