Richarlison has agreed terms with Trabzonspor as the wantaway Tottenham forward looks to secure a move ahead of the Turkish transfer deadline.

Daily Mail Sport understands Richarlison wants to move, with the Brazilian liking the prospect of a new challenge and is keen to play alongside Mohamed Salah.

Richarlison, however, fears his soured relationship with Tottenham could put a deal at risk.

Tottenham had been keen for him to move to Everton with clubs having been in talks over a £35million deal, with Spurs having been looking to pay £60m for Iliman Ndiaye, who eventually joined Manchester City.

Trabzonspor are said to have offered £20million for Richarlison but Tottenham say they are yet to receive a bid.

The Turkish transfer window is open until Friday.

Richarlison is understood to have agree terms with Trabzonspor, as he looks to leave Tottenham

RIcharlison had shared a post this week on Instagram which read: 'I am the villain of many poorly told stories' amid uncertainty over his future 

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi had revealed after Saturday's defeat to Newcastle that Richarlison, 29, was one of three players to have told him they wanted to leave the club.

Kevin Danso and Pape Matar Sarr, who were also named by De Zerbi, joined Sunderland and Juventus on deadline day.

Richarlison had shared a social media post earlier this week declaring that he had 'decided that no one will ever again decide my future for me'. 

In a separate post he had also shared a photograph of a wall with red and black text on it reading, in translation: 'I am the villain of many poorly told stories.' 

The Brazilian was Tottenham's top scorer last season, scoring 11 goals in the league and 12 in all competitions.

Should Richarlison leave, it would continue a remarkable trend of Tottenham's top scorers leaving the club.

Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson have top scored in three of Tottenham's last four seasons before leaving.

Richarlison's prospective new club Trabzonspor have endured a difficult start to the season, winning one of their opening three league games, despite the high-profile signing of Salah.

Trabzonspor were knocked out of the Europa League after a 5-0 aggregate defeat to Ferencvaros in their play-off, which led to their manager Fatih Tekke announcing his resignation.

Despite initially blocking Tekke's resignation, Trabzonspor have now agreed to part ways.
