The 25-year-old wants to leave Goodison Park after the club’s games to avoid relegation last season and the opportunity to play for a team in the Champions League for the first time in his career seems to be too good to turn down. Richardson is expected to cost Tottenham 60 60 million as Antonio Conte further strengthens his team. Guardian reporter Romano wrote on Twitter that the player has agreed on personal terms for a long-term deal. Sky Sports, meanwhile, reports that the Spurs are hoping to complete the transfer within the next 24 hours. Richardson played an important role in helping Frank Lampard’s men avoid relegation. However, he does not seem to be happy at Merseyside and Everton recovering εκατο 60m seems like a good job. The Toffees also have concerns about financial Fair Play. With that in mind, the sale of the Brazilian will allow Lampard to reinvest these funds directly into his team.
Richarlison a very expensive back-up
For Tottenham, Richarlison will give them a high quality back-up to Harry Kane – something they haven’t had in a long time. The big question remains, however, why spend this amount on a replacement? It’s hard to see where Richarlison fits into the Spurs’ top eleven unless he plays outside. However, he is much less effective when he is not playing centrally, so the movement is slightly amazing. One thing is for sure, Conte must be a big fan of the player. There is no case to approve the transfer if it is not. So, if the enigmatic Brazilian really heads to north London in the next few days, all eyes will be on the preparation and how Conte plans to use the striker’s undoubted talents.
