Richarlison opens up on off-field problems that have affected his form

The Tottenham Hotspur striker has been open about issues affecting him in recent months and that he will seek help on his return to England to get back to his best

Richarlison has admitted that off-the-field issues have impacted him and that he will seek help on his return to Tottenham.

The Brazilian signed for Spurs just over a year ago in a £60million deal from Everton but so far has just one Premier League goal to his name for the north London side. He has been struggling for form and confidence although he does have the backing of new boss Ange Postecoglou as well as his national team coach Fernando Diniz.

Following Brazil's 1-0 World Cup qualifier win in Peru, with Richarlison having a headed effort ruled out for offside, the 26-year-old opened up on the issues that have been impacting him off the pitch.

"On the field I'm a happy team player, I try to help as much as possible. Sometimes, things don't go the way we want. I think this part is a bit of the off-field side that ended up getting in my way. Even though you want to do things right, it ends up going wrong. I will continue to focus on the club, the storm has passed," he was quoted as saying in Brazilian media outlet Globo.

"I went through a turbulent time in the last five months off the field. Now things are right at home. People who only had an eye on my money walked away from me. Now things will start to flow, I'm sure I'll get a good run at Tottenham and make things happen again."

The Brazilian media have reported that the Spurs striker recently parted company with businessman Renato Velasco, who had been with him since the early days of his career.
