Richarlison has stated Tottenham will be monitoring West Ham’s match at Newcastle, while also encouraging his teammates to remain composed as they fight to avoid relegation.
Spurs are currently 17th in the Premier League, two points ahead of the relegation zone. They face Chelsea on Tuesday, and could find themselves in the bottom three if West Ham are victorious against Newcastle.
Richarlison Calls for Calm
Following their 1-1 draw against Leeds, which Richarlison described as a missed opportunity to put pressure on 18th-placed West Ham, the player spoke to ESPN Brasil.
“It’s tough, but point by point we’re making progress and depending on the result of next weekend’s game, with one more point we can avoid relegation,” Richarlison said.
“We’ll be keeping an eye on our opponent (West Ham), but we need to do our part.
- “We have the advantage of scoring well away from home, so it’s about staying calm.
“We played a very intense game (against Leeds), unfortunately we conceded a penalty goal, it’s part of football. Now it’s about continuing with these last two games.”
Richarlison has scored 11 goals in all competitions this season, and his goals have earned his team five points in the Premier League.
Moore Set to Return to Tottenham
Mikey Moore has confirmed he will return to Spurs before deciding his next steps this summer. He is currently on loan.
Speaking to Rangers official media channels ahead of their season finale against Falkirk, Moore said: “Mixed emotions for the game tomorrow, it is not the position we wanted to be in, but it is my last game. For me, I have so much love for everyone. I understand the way people feel, and I have tried to give my all for the club. This club has been a huge part of who I am going to become. I am a fan of this club for the rest of my life.
“The backing that this club has, there needs to be a few changes, but there is a base there to go and make a mark. Obviously, we need to win the league and Europe, but it is there.
- There is a new manager at Spurs at the moment.
- Obviously, I am a Spurs player, so I will go back and continue to work hard.”
Spurs are planning to use Luka Vuskovic in the first-team. De Zerbi has a host of exciting players out on loan set to return this summer, with Moore joining centre-back Luka Vuskovic and striker Will Lankshear.
Moore, who has scored seven goals in all competitions and won the SPFL young player of the year, is seemingly leaving his options open.
Spurs are without a fixture this weekend.
