Richarlison brutally admits he left Everton because of a 'lack of ambition' and 'eagerness to win matches and trophies' at Goodison Park... as the £60m Tottenham star warns Frank Lampard has 'a very long way to go to achieve big things' with the Toffees

Richarlison has revealed that he made the switch to Tottenham from Everton this summer because of a 'lack of ambition' from the Goodison Park club.

After four seasons in the Premier League with the Toffees, the Brazilian forward made a £60million switch to Antonio Conte's Spurs this summer, signing a five-year deal at the north London club.

The Brazil international had earned cult status on Merseyside after consistently delivering crucial performances, and in an interview with FourFourTwo, he explained how difficult it was to depart the club that held him in such high regard.
