Richarlison has only just returned from injury and gave the Spurs the lead on Sunday. Still, the Brazilian was subbed off for Spurs early in the second-half, a decision to have been met by a smattering of boos from the home support.

Spurs in crisis after damaging Premier League defeat - Spurs face struggling Foxes amid dire form and injury problems

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on matchday 23 of the Premier League keeps them rooted in the bottom half of the league standings with the team only having picked 24 points out of a possible 69 since the campaign got underway.

However, Richarlison has made it clear that he intends to remain at Spurs and fight for his place in the first team. Richarlison, who joined Tottenham for £60 million, has faced significant challenges since his arrival.

After Tottenham's 13th league loss this season - the same amount as 19th-placed Ipswich Town - manager Ange Postecoglou refused to criticise his players

Tottenham held their nerve to seal an important 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim in the Europa League. Son Heung-min struck a brace and Richarlison shone in his first start for three months as Ange Postecoglou was afforded some respite amid staunch criticism following the weekend's 3-2 defeat against Everton.

Spurs have taken extra care with Richarlison, though, giving him two weeks on the training ground before substitute appearances in the back-to-back league defeats to Arsenal and Everton, and the hope is that he can not only get through the next period of games but provide Spurs with some freshness up top.

Ange Postecoglou may have been managing his last game in charge of Tottenham as they lost 2-1 to Leicester City on Sunday - or at least, that's what one pundit thinks should be the case.

Tottenham are prepared to take a "huge loss" on the sale of Richarlison and could move him on before the January window closes.
