Richarlison has been left out of Tottenham's Premier League squad for the first half of the season as the Brazil forward pushes for a move away from the London club.
Spurs manager Roberto de Zerbi confirmed the decision after the 2-0 home defeat by Newcastle United on Saturday, saying the 29-year-old had told him too many times he wanted to leave.
Richarlison came close to rejoining former club Everton before Tuesday's transfer deadline, but a deal collapsed and he now finds himself frozen out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The window in Turkey and Saudi Arabia remains open, and Spurs are expected to let him move on in the coming days rather than keep a player who does not feature in their plans.
The striker joined Tottenham from Everton in the summer of 2022 and enters the final year of his contract with the club, having been Spurs' top scorer in the league last season with 11 goals in 32 appearances.
His likely replacement is Omar Marmoush, signed on loan from Manchester City, who started up front against Newcastle in his place.
For Ugandan fans tracking the Premier League, the question now is where the Brazilian lands next and whether De Zerbi's gamble to offload his most experienced striker leaves the North London outfit light up front.
