Tottenham forward Richarlison's proposed move to Vasco da Gama has fallen through amid ongoing uncertainty over the Brazilian's future. Sources suggested Spurs had agreed a fee with Vasco over a return to Brazil for the 29-year-old. However, personal terms 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.
