Matheus Cunha, Dom Solanke react to Tottenham ace Richarlison amid exit whispers
Wolves star Matheus Cunha and Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke reacted to a message from Richarlison on social media.
Spurs’s 4-2 loss to the Old Gold condemned Ange Postecoglou’s side to their 17th Premier League defeat this season.
A goal in the second minute from Tottenham target Rayan Ait-Nouri and an unfortunate own-goal from Djed Spence gave Wolves a two-goal lead in the first-half.
Mathys Tel grabbed one back for the away side, before Jorgen Strand Larsen restored the Midland side’s two-goal lead.
Richarlison got one back late one, spurring on Spurs in hopes of making a comeback, before they were swiftly put to bed as Liverpool target Matheus Cunha found the back of the net just one minute later to give Wolves a richly deserved 4-2 win.
Richarlison scores against Wolves after difficult Tottenham season
Richarlison took to Instagram to share two photo’s after the game of himself in action, with a simple caption of: “Back” with a ball emoji.
In spite of scoring his third goal of the season, there was little to celebrate for the former Watford striker.
The Brazilian has endured a difficult campaign, with injuries and a lack-of-form undermining his ability to hold down a regular place in Tottenham’s side.
Brazil teammate Cunha, and Spurs teammate Solanke both liked the post, showing support for the 27-year-old.
Richarlison Everton return would be ideal for all parties
Football Insider Verdict
Richarlison has been linked with a return to Everton, with the Brazilian failing to settle in North London since joining Tottenham in 2022 for £60million [Sky Sports].
Having played second-fiddle to Man United target Harry Kane in his first season with Spurs, the former Watford man is now deputising for Solanke, with little joy.
As such, with a return to Everton now being on the cards, it may be a move that works for all parties involved.

The Toffees are likely to let Dominic Calvert-Lewin leave this summer and are in need of a hard-working striker to lead the line.
Having enjoyed huge success with Michail Antonio as his main striker at West Ham, David Moyes is likely to want a striker who can press relentlessly from the front, whilst bringing others into play and being good aerially.
Richarlison possess all these traits, and with Spurs needing a revamp to their squad, moving on from the Brazilian could provide a healthy cash boost to do so.
