Tottenham forward Richarlison has directed a message towards Liverpool fans in a new post on social media.

Richarlison recently made a dig at Virgil van Dijk, and it appears he hasn’t let things settle, seemingly targeting Liverpool fans in his latest post.

The tension between the two players escalated during the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, where Arne Slot’s side overcame Spurs to reach the final against Newcastle.

The clash between Richarlison and Van Dijk was one of the talking points of the match, with tempers flaring on the pitch.

The striker suffered an injury during that game, forcing him to leave the field as Liverpool fans booed RIcharlison off. The setback has kept him out of action for several weeks, but that hasn’t stopped him from reigniting the rivalry with his latest post.

Richarlison takes aim at Liverpool reigniting former Everton rivalry

In an Instagram post, Richarlison shared a photo of himself walking off the pitch while being booed by Liverpool fans, accompanied by a salute emoji—a subtle but clear message aimed at his old Merseyside rivals.

Tottenham fans have been frustrated with Richarlison, as he has struggled with injuries and limited game time. He has made just nine league appearances, starting only twice, with two goals and one assist to his name.

Injuries have been a major factor in Tottenham’s inconsistent form, with key players like Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Radu Dragusin all facing lengthy spells on the sidelines.

Since joining Spurs, Richarlison has managed just 18 goals in 80 games, often playing out wide to accommodate other strikers like Harry Kane and, more recently, Dominic Solanke. With the arrival of Mathys Tel, his place in the squad looks even more uncertain.

Tottenham could move on from Richarlison

Despite remaining at Spurs through the January transfer window, Football Insider previously revealed that Richarlison is open to leaving Tottenham, with interest from the Saudi Pro League.

His time at the club has been heavily disrupted by injuries, having missed 34 games this season alone—on top of 10 last season—fuelling speculation that his future may lie elsewhere.

While his latest post might amuse Everton fans, many Tottenham supporters are running out of patience. With his form and fitness continuing to be an issue, his time in North London may be coming to an end.
