Richarlison excited about Tottenham move and Champions League 'dream'

Richarlison is excited about his move to Tottenham and the chance to play in the Champions League.

The Brazilian, 25, joined Spurs from Everton last month in a £60million deal and has given his first interview since swapping Merseyside for north London.

Richarlison said, "I remember when I was in Brazil and came the offer from Tottenham, I couldn't believe it. And after I signed the contract, even more so.

"When I arrived here it gave me a chill in my stomach to see my new team-mates and a new home.

"Now it's about working with the great coach I have, with great team-mates too. I hope to make history here in this shirt."

Richarlison said that it was a 'dream' to be able to play in it and said he might 'cry' when he hears the famous anthem for the first time.

"It's a dream, isn't it?" he said. "I was even commenting with my friends that (watching on) the TV gave us goosebumps, just listening to the theme song. Now I can be inside the stadium, listening to that music at the start of the match and playing the Champions League.

"I always said it was my dream to play in the Champions League, and now this dream will come true. And let's see what will happen, I hope to start this Champions League on the right foot."
