Richarlison fully focused on Watford amid ongoing transfer talk

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 15 February 2018

Brazilian forward Richarlison says that his "head is completely in Watford" after being linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Chelsea in recent months.

Richarlison has admitted that it is impossible to rule out a future move to one of the Premier League's elite clubs, but he is currently completely focused on Watford.

The £11.5m summer signing from Fluminense has five goals and four assists to his name in the Premier League this term, all of which came before Christmas.

Despite the drop-off in performances, coinciding with Watford's loss of form in the second half of the season, Richarlison was recently linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Chelsea.

With three of the country's top sides circling, the Brazilian forward is keen to continue doing his talking on the field.

"In the future you never know but I leave all things like that up to my agents," he told the London Evening Standard. "At the moment my head is completely in Watford.

"I am not thinking about anything else and I want to help the team get as far as possible in the League. That is my objective, that is my focus and nothing else."

Richarlison last scored or assisted a goal in the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on December 12.
