RICHARLISON’S stunning girlfriend is heading to London to give him a lift following surgery – after revealing she was to blame for one of his dogs peeing all over his bedroom on a previous visit.
Model and influencer Amanda Araujo is reportedly going to spend Christmas with the Spurs striker, who has disappointed with with just five goals in 44 appearances since joining Tottenham from Everton and is currently out of action following a groin op.
The pretty 20-year-old, described as a law student at a private university in Sao Paulo when she was first linked to the Brazil international in July, has already stayed at the footballer’s POUNDS four million house in North London.
Speaking ahead of her imminent return to the UK, Araujo admitted her first stay proved a disaster when she left the bedroom door open and one of Richarlison’s dogs ended up using it as a toilet.
The footballer, said to have been facing a RSPCA investigation earlier this year over neighbours’ claims his dogs barked constantly, owns a Siberian husky called Acerola and a chocolate Labrador called Layla he got as a puppy around three years ago while he was still at Everton.
Araujo, a sports fanatic who practices Crossfit and plays handball, said of her gaffe which led to the younger of Richarlison’s two mutts running riot on her previous visit to London, said: “When I arrived at Ric’s house he wasn’t there.
“I slept the first night there without him because he was in another city playing.”
In quotes published by Brazilian media overnight, she added: “The people who were there left the house and I left his bedroom door open because no-one told me I couldn’t.
“When people started returning there was pee everywhere.
“There was wee-wee on the bed, below the bed, on the floor.

“Rick was going to arrive after me and I was worried he was going to think it was me.
“I sent him a message and talked to him. He responded by saying: ‘Congratulations.’”
Araujo responded with a heart emoticon after Richarlison, who has recently opened up on his mental health struggles and said he would seek professional help after a “turbulent time” off the pitch, posted a selfie of him in hospital following groin surgery on November 9.
The Spurs striker posted his own heart emoticon after his girlfriend treated her 116,000 Instagram followers to a photo of her in a white bikini recently before a mud facial.
The couple were seen together for the first time in July when they holidayed with friends in the north-eastern Brazilian state of Ceara, visiting places like the beach resort of Canoa Quebrada.
Recent reports point to Spurs being prepared to listen to offers for Richardson, who is expected to return to action in mid-December and is due to miss Tottenham’s upcoming match against West Ham which has been linked to a possible move to sign him.
In April it was reported the footballer was facing an RSPCA investigation over claims his two dogs were a “noisy nuisance.”
Neighbours claimed his dogs relentlessly barked and howled and escaped regularly.
The soccer star made an appeal on Twitter in December 2019 after Siberian husky Acerola ran off and the pair were reunited two hours later.
A spokesman for Tottenham Hotspur said after the reports about his barking dogs were published: “We are liaising with the player and his representatives.”
