Tottenham Hotspur are continuing in their efforts to bring in multiple players this summer transfer window with Everton’s Richarlison the latest name rumoured to be joining the club.
That’s according to a recent report from CNN Portugal reporter Bruno Andrade, who has claimed Antonio Conte’s Lilywhites are in ‘advanced talks’ over a possible £51m (€60m) deal for Richarlison.

Richarlison, 25, has been with the Toffees since he moved from Watford in 2018 in a deal worth £35m.
Since his arrival on Merseyside, the South American has grown to become a popular figure among supporters.

Having featured in 152 matches, in all competitions, the 25-year-old has been directly involved in 67 goals.
However, following Everton’s horrendous campaign last season that almost saw them relegated to the Championship, despite narrowly beating the drop, it is no surprise to see one of, if not, their best player reportedly on the verge of moving to a top-four side.
Although the South American still has two years left on his deal at Goodison Park, with Tottenham Hotspur safely in next season’s Champions League, the Toffees are going to find it hard to convince their number seven to stick around.
Expect Everton to negotiate hardball in the same way Levy does , there are 3 or 4 clubs interested in Richarlson and 50 million for a Brazillion international won’t be anywhere near enough to secure his signature so I can’t see this as anything more than.speculation
Spurs do NOT need a player like Richarlison. A big whiner that constantly falls over looking for fouls. and is not that effective a player anyway.
Everton will be laughing their heads off if Spurs take him off their hands.
