Tell him that you've had a very rough day and would really appreciate some time to yourself. Tell him that you'll be happy to spend some time with him later/tomorrow/whenever but right now you need to be alone. I'm sure he'll understand.
If this is a daily thing - let him know that while you appreciate his energy, it can be a bit too much at times. Let him know that you need some time to get in the door and turn off your "work mode" and that until that time you need him to find something else to do.
With my 3 year old I tell him he's getting too excited and we need to have a quiet time before Mommy gets grumpy. I remind him what I'm like when I'm grumpy!! lol I'll usually get him to play/colour/watch a movie by himself for a little while with the promise that we'll do something together later, like read, playdoh, paint, cars, etc.. He's usually pretty good about it and I have, on occasion, told him he was being a pest and making me not want to be around him. The honest approach is usually best.
Good luck!!

If on good terms with his mother, take it up with her. She should have noticed the situation and corrected it. That way you are the good guy. Besides it is the parents job to guide a child and monitor its actions.

Tell him that you have something to do at this moment and make a fake promise to him that you will play with him later.

Tell him whatever you want, any way you want to, Just make sure you say it with a loving heart.
