Tottenham Hotspurs had a disappointing English Premier League (EPL) 2022/23 season as they finished in the eighth position with 60 points in 38 games. However, one of their strikers, Richarlison had a forgettable season. He joined the Spurs during the 2022 summer transfer window for £60m from Everton.
