I’ve been through worse things… believe me!“I have always made it clear, at every opportunity, that an exit of mine to another place would also have to be good for the club.“If it wasn’t, I would never accept… as I didn’t accept when everything here was falling apart and they needed me.“I stayed and gave my life. So, I hope you treat my situation with the same respect that I always had for Spurs and for all the people who worked with me during this period. Just don’t want to decide for me.“If they enter into an agreement between Spurs and Everton, I go back to my favourite team.“My intention was to return to the place where I was very happy. But the negotiations were the way people wanted and it won’t be like this anymore.“Despite this riot, I have a contract with Spurs and I will be at the club’s disposal.”Richarlison is going nowhere, or so it seemsGettyMudryk hasn’t played a minute of competitive football since December 2024AFPDouble dealMudryk might not be the only player swapping west London for north London on transfer deadline day.This is because the Blues and Spurs are in talks over Tosin Adarabioyo joining as well.Kevin Danso has asked to leave north London and it’s reported that a deal is agreed for the Austrian to join the Black Cats in a permanent switch.But it is contingent on a replacement arriving, and that replacement could be Tosin.
