Spurs striker Richarlison: Not a dream first season

Richarlison admits his first season with Tottenham didn't go to plan.

The striker joined Spurs last summer from Everton.

He posted to social media: “Easy to say this wasn't my dream season.

“I came to a club that bet high on my signing and the Champions League to compete; and I finish this first season without delivering what I know I can and without achieving Tottenham's collective goals.

“Anyone who has followed me saw that injuries were almost routine, something that had never happened to me before, and so I could never really have a sequel, which frustrated me a lot and really messed up my income.

“Even though I gave blood every time I walked on the field, I know it wasn't enough. Now it's time to rest, get my head right and take care of myself to start all over again next season 100% physically and much stronger.
