Sources have suggested Spurs had agreed a fee with Vasco over a return to Brazil for the 29-year-old. However, personal terms over the deal are understood to have emerged as an issue. The Brazilian transfer window closes on Friday night and there is an emerging sense Richarlison will stay at Spurs. The attacker was left out of Tottenham's Premier League squad after his proposed £35m deadline-day move to Everton broke down over a disagreement on personal terms. On Thursday, BBC Sport reported that Richarlison and Spurs were in a dispute over the remaining nine months on his contract. Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi did not provide any update on Richarlison's future at a news conference earlier on Friday. Richarlison is understood to be exploring his options, with sources indicating he is keen to be released from the remainder of his current deal, which runs out next summer - but Spurs can also trigger a 12-month extension. The ex-Watford and Everton player was Tottenham's leading scorer in the Premier League last season with 11 goals to help the club avoid relegation. "Richarlison is a good guy, a very good guy. I spoke with him a lot of times and I spent time to convince him to stay, but if you ask me, I know the truth," De Zerbi said. "I know what happened in the last month, the last 45 days, and it's clear, but I'm not frustrated. "If I had decided myself to leave him outside of the squad, I would have regrets, but the decision has not even been taken by the club. It has been a consequence of what I told you already that he has decided... "I'm sorry because it could be different. Even the end of the story. It could have been better, or it was much better [with] Richarlison inside the list, happy to stay, maybe to extend his contract, because he is still an important player. "He was important last season, we can't forget, but we can't forget also the last 45 days."

City spent a Premier League record £458m during the recent transfer window, with incomings including midfield trio Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi. But the club also recouped more than £300m in sales and lost the experience of players such as 2024 Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, former captain Bernardo Silva and England international John Stones. Dias has been part of City's leadership group since joining from Benfica for £65m in 2020 and has now been handed the armband by Maresca. "In terms of the role I have, it goes down to trying to be the best version of yourself, and in terms of that, nothing has changed," Dias told the Football Interview. "So many people have left and so many winners have left, and now new people have joined with a lot of ambition and people that are desperate to win and that is also what makes the club keep on going. "Others, Enzo included, that have been here and have won so much here and can very clearly point the way of how to do it and the things that are the most important and undeniable. "But then as well, [there is the] ambition from us that are here and still want to be here and keep on winning. They are joining and full of ambition and with all the dreams in the world. The mix of these makes it work."

Less than 72 hours after the Reds beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, Andoni Iraola's side lacked the intensity and urgency they showed on Wednesday night as they failed to score for the first time this term. Arbeloa came into this game under pressure, with Fulham having lost each of their first three league games since he took charge in the summer. But his side put in a solid away performance and could have taken all three points if they were more ruthless in the final third. Iraola made three Liverpool changes with Kostas Tsimikas, Ryan Gravenberch and Victor Munoz coming in for Milos Kerkez, Alexis Mac Allister and Rio Ngumoha. Arbeloa, who played 98 games for Liverpool between 2007 and 2009, made two changes with Austrian centre-back David Affengruber making his debut in place of Joachim Andersen and Sander Berge replacing Cesar Palacios. Fulham should have taken the lead early on when Jeremy Jacquet had to clear Gonzalo Garcia's effort off the line after a mix-up between keeper Alisson and Ryan Gravenberch that was entirely Liverpool's own doing. The visitors were better in the opening half but failed to make it count, with Josh King's effort from inside the box saved by Alisson, before Antonee Robinson headed wide. Munoz's header was kept out by a strong save from Bernd Leno at the other end, while a Bradley Barcola volley was deflected behind by Timothy Castagne for a corner. Kerkez came on at the break for Tsimikas, who struggled in the first half and by the hour mark Gravenberch and Munoz were also replaced by Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo as Iraola looked to shift the momentum of the game. Alexander Isak created an opening but his effort was saved comfortably by Leno, before the Fulham goalkeeper kept out a powerful strike from Dominik Szoboszlai. The hosts made another double change in the 72nd minute with Ngumoha and Jeremie Frimpong introduced, but it was to no avail. Isak headed wide from an injury-time corner and Fulham - who created late chances through King and Kevin - held on for a valuable point.

The reigning Premier League Player of the Month curled a shot into the top corner in the 66th minute, but Chelsea were unable to find a winner. Morgan Rogers had given Chelsea the lead in the seventh minute, but Hull went into the break ahead after Mohamed Belloumi scored twice. Chelsea's opener arrived later than usual, having scored in the first, second and fourth minutes of their previous three league matches this season. Club record signing Rogers, their £117m buy from Aston Villa, simply shifted the ball past Matt Crooks before firing a left-footed shot beyond goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis - the first Premier League goal Hull have conceded this season. The Blues then saw Pedro Neto flick an effort just wide before another curling shot was saved, but a lapse in concentration cost them the chance of a first Premier League clean sheet in 20 matches. Left-back Jorrel Hato switched off to allow Belloumi to volley in Ryan Giles' cross for a 28th-minute equaliser. That swung momentum back in Hull's favour as Lewie Coyle forced a save with a low effort before Semi Ajayi headed against the crossbar. After the ball ricocheted off the woodwork, striker Oli McBurnie reacted quickest to divert it into the path of Belloumi, whose shot found the net via deflections off Levi Colwill and Reece James. Xabi Alonso brought on Pep Chavarria for Hato at half-time, but Chelsea struggled to break down Hull's defence, with Tzolakis forced into action only by an excellent James free-kick shortly after the restart. In response, McBurnie saw a close-range effort brilliantly saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez after the Argentine had parried Regan Slater's shot from the edge of the area into his path. But Joao Pedro smashed a left-foot equaliser inside the near post after an impressive low cross from the left by Cole Palmer in the 66th minute. Shots from the edge of the box by Palmer and James threatened to add a winner for Chelsea, while Rogers had the best late effort, saved by Tzolakis. It was nearly all Chelsea late on as Estevao Willian and Danny Welbeck were among those brought on, but Hull substitute Mohamed-Ali Cho had arguably the best chance to win the match in the 87th minute - his poorly struck shot was easily saved. Hull remain third and Chelsea stay fourth in the table - having played a match more than half of the Premier League's sides.

The Azerbaijan champions came through four rounds of qualifying to reach the main league phase of the tournament for the first time. However, though they had chances, they were also given a brutal lesson in the gulf in class between the level they are used to and the Premier League, whose five entrants have all opened their respective campaigns by picking up three points. With just three days to prepare for Sunday's Manchester derby, United head coach Michael Carrick would have been pleased to effectively kill the contest by half-time, thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko. For Sesko in particular, it was an important night. Starting for the first time since 3 May, the Slovenian brought a focus to United's attack which has not been evident for their opening three Premier League games. It surely puts him in contention to start against Manchester City, which begs the question who will be on the left - Cunha or Marcus Rashford, who remained on the bench throughout. The conundrum is one Carrick will relish because, while he said at Everton on Sunday that United's start to the season had "not been that bad", he also knows four points from three games cannot become four from four. As far as the Champions League goes, United could not have asked for more accommodating opponents after more than a thousand days out of the competition. With trips to Atletico Madrid, Como and Sporting Lisbon ahead, plus home games with Roma and Bayern Munich, victory was important to ensure there was no early ground to make up, as is now the case in the Premier League. It probably will not stay that way, but nestled just behind holders Paris St-Germain, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the table, United's first match round in the league format of the competition looks pretty good from their perspective.
