Richarlison pictured back at Finch Farm following Everton transfer exit

Former Everton forward Richarlison has been pictured back at the club's training complex following his transfer to Tottenham Hotspur at the start of this month.

The Brazilian was seemingly back at Finch Farm on Tuesday to say his goodbyes after bringing a four-season stay with the Blues to an end with a big-money move to London. One image shared on social media shows Everton's legendary kit man Jimmy Martin posing with the outgoing forward, with both embracing each other and smiling.

The Blues signed Richarlison from Watford back in the summer of 2018 and he remained an absolutely crucial player throughout his time on Merseyside. His six goals towards the end of the 2021/22 campaign were crucial in keeping his side in the Premier League, not least with his winner in a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in May.

His transfer to Spurs was confirmed at the end of last week, with Everton's players still not back at the training complex to begin their pre-season preparations for the summer. The 25-year-old was not yet due to be back at the club if he was still their player either, as he had taken part in Brazil's international fixtures over the course of the recent break.

With large numbers of the squad back at Finch Farm now, however, it seems that the former Blues man has taken this opportunity to make one last visit to the site to say his goodbyes.

Earlier on Tuesday it was confirmed that the Brazilian would miss the first match of Tottenham's Premier League season after picking up a one-match ban for his incident with a smoke bomb during the win over Chelsea in May. Richarlison picked up the object from the field of play during the celebrations to his only goal of the game, throwing it towards a usually empty area of the ground underneath one of the big screens.
