Richarlison: Tottenham and Brazil forward says seeking psychological help 'saved his life'

Tottenham forward Richarlison says seeking psychological help "saved his life" and has urged others with mental health issues to do the same.

The Brazil international, 26, said he was at "rock bottom" but therapy helped him to "turn things around".

He has nine goals in his last 13 Spurs games and could reach 50 Brazil caps in upcoming games with England and Spain.
