Tottenham striker Richarlison says he will seek the help of a psychologist to improve his game and break his goal drought after returning from international duty with Brazil.
He is yet to score in the Premier League this season and notched just once for Spurs in 27 league appearances last term following his £60m move from Everton.
Richarlison, who had a goal for Brazil disallowed by VAR against Peru on Tuesday night and did score in the EFL Cup defeat at Fulham in August, has been given the nod as Tottenham's No.9 this season in the wake of Harry Kane's departure.
The player says he has been affected by off-field issues over the past months, with reports in Brazil of a dispute with his representative Renato Velasco.
«I'm a happy team player on the pitch, I try to help as much as possible,» he told Ge.Globo Brasil.
«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.
»I went through a turbulent time in the last five months off the pitch. Now things are fine at home. People who only had an eye on my money are no longer close to me. Now things will start to flow. I'm sure I'll get on a good run at Tottenham and make things happen again.
