Richarlison had his Tottenham teammate Yves Bissouma in hysterics after stripping down to his shorts and celebrating like Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Brazil forward was in the gym at Tottenham's training ground as he looks to put some work in ahead of the new Premier League season.

While working hard is the priority, Richarlison showed that there's also a little bit of time for fun at this time of year.

The 27-year-old was in the gym with Yves Bissouma with the midfielder filming Richarlison.

Realising he was being filmed, Richarlison ripped of his t-shirt before running across the gym to do Ronaldo's iconic 'Siuu' celebration.

Sharing the video on Instagram, the forward's translated post read: "Yes, pigeon is back!"

As well as attracting more than 135,000 likes in an hour, Richarlison had Bissouma in stitches as the midfielder flipped the camera to show how much he had enjoyed the forward's antics.

Having missed five of Tottenham's last eight Premier League games last term, Richarlison has been working hard to get back to fitness following knee and ankle issues.

Missing out on Brazil's Copa America squad, the forward is putting in the hard yards to ensure that he's fit and firing ahead of the Premier League's kick-off in August.

Richarlison scored 12 times in 31 appearances during his first season under Ange Postecoglou, a tally that he'll be hoping to improve as he aims to guide Tottenham into the Champions League.

Spurs kick off their new season on Monday, August 19 when they travel to face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium - a match that Richarlison will be hoping can showcase that he's ready to go ahead of another tough season ahead.
