Richarlison shared a one-word message with Tottenham supporters despite speculation continuing around his future at the club.

Tottenham held firm to seal a 1-0 win and progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League, with Dominic Solanke's goal proving the difference over the two legs.

Despite scoring in last weekend's 4-2 defeat to Wolves, Richarlison remained on the bench throughout the second leg–fuelling further questions around his role in the squad.

His reduced minutes this season have sparked fresh rumours about a potential exit, with Football Insider revealing that David Moyes is set to hold talks over bringing Richarlison back to Everton.

While James Maddison shared a full message with Tottenham fans following the tense win, the Brazilian kept it brief, posting a single word in response to the result.

Richarlison fuels Everton return rumours amid Tottenham exit talk

The forward shared a short but clear message with supporters on Instagram, simply captioning a post full of full-time celebrations with "Together."

The post earned plenty of reaction from teammates, with goalscorer Solanke, Cristian Romero and Maddison among those liking the update.

Despite the visible camaraderie from within the squad, Tottenham fans have grown increasingly frustrated with Richarlison's lack of impact. Many have called for him to be sold following persistent injury concerns and inconsistency in front of goal.

Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Richarlison is not viewed as part of Tottenham's long-term plans and is "certain" to leave the club this summer.

The 27-year-old has had a disappointing season, making just 16 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and providing one assist in only 562 minutes of action.

With interest from Saudi Arabia during the January transfer window and Everton preparing talks over a return, his time in North London appears to be drawing to a close.

Mathys Tel to return to Bayern Munich after disappointing Tottenham loan

Richarlison isn't the only forward expected to move on this summer, as Mathys Tel is also set to return to Bayern Munich at the end of his loan spell.

Spurs beat Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United to land the highly rated Frenchman, but he's struggled to make an impression, scoring just three goals since arriving.

Tottenham fans have already called for the club to terminate Tel’s contract early, with the forward line coming under heavy scrutiny during a tough season that sees them currently sitting 14th in the Premier League.
