Brazilian striker Richarlison scored for Tottenham's Under-21s in the EFL Trophy after failing to leave the club in summer.

Richarlison scored for Tottenham's Under-21s against Cheltenham Town in the EFL Trophy after a troubled summer in which he sought to leave the club. The 29-year-old Brazilian equalised with a first-time finish from a right wing cross after George Miller had given the League Two side the lead. Miracle Adewole then put Spurs ahead, only for Miller to score deep into stoppage time to send the tie to penalties.

Richarlison's attempts to leave have left him stranded in north London. Moves to Everton and Vasco da Gama fell through during the summer transfer window, and he has not been included in Tottenham's 25-man Premier League squad. His only appearance for the club this season came in the opening-day defeat at Brentford in August.

According to the Evening Standard, Richarlison was left out of manager Roberto De Zerbi's plans for the season and pushed to find himself a new home before the transfer deadline. Having failed to do so, he remains at the club. He is eligible to appear in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup but has not done so since the transfer window closed.
