Everton forward Richarlison looks set to become Tottenham Hotspur’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window.
Spurs have agreed a £50m deal plus add-ons for the former Watford man and the move will be confirmed when the Brazilian international passes a medical in his native country, according to Fabrizio Romano.
After securing Champions League football, Antonio Conte has been given the significant transfer kitty he sought in order for him to stay in the Spurs hot seat.
Following the arrivals of Fraser Foster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, who rejected Arsenal in favour of Champions League football with Spurs, will become the next player to arrive in north London as the Italian continues to build an exciting side.
The 25-year-old, who scored 53 goals from 152 games for the Toffees, is set to sign a five-year contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he’ll add more firepower to a forward line that contains Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane.
With the 36-time Brazil international, who cost Everton £50m, closing in on a move down south HITC Sport takes a look at the Brazilian players who have represented Tottenham.
Brazilian players who have represented Tottenham
Lucas Moura
The former Sau Paulo youngster has been a Tottenham player for four-and-a-half years following his £23m arrival from French giants Paris Saint Germain.
The speed demon, who won a bucket load of trophies in the French capital, has scored 38 goals and provided 27 assists from 201 games for Spurs.
But with his fellow countryman Richarlison set to join a talented forward line, Moura’s quest for game time under Conte is only going to become trickier.
Emerson Royal
The former Real Betis man was brought to north London from Barcelona by Nuno Espirito Santo in a deal worth £25.8m.
Emerson made 41 appearances in his first season for Spurs, but with Conte keen to land talented England Under-21 international Djed Spence, who shined on loan at Nottingham Forest last season, from Middlesbrough, the wing-back has been linked with a move back to Spain via Atletico Madrid.
Paulinho
Following Gareth Bale’s world-record £85m move to Real Madrid, Andre Villas-Boas looked to replace the influential Welshman by signing several stars.
Spurs paid Brazilian side Corinthians just under £17m to bring Paulinho to England and the midfielder spent two seasons in the Premier League before moving to the Chinese Super League.
The 56-time Brazil international, who secured a big move to Barcelona before moving back to Chinese side Guangzhou FC, made 67 appearances for Tottenham, from which he scored 10 goals.
Carlos Vinicius
Signed on a season-long loan by Jose Mourinho from Portuguese giants Benfica, the Brazilian striker was only ever going to be a back-up to Kane.
But the left-footer, who only made three Premier League starts, scored 10 goals from 22 games across all competitions.
The 27-year-old spent last season on loan at Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven.
Sandro
Following his arrival from Internacional in August 2010, the all-action midfielder made 105 appearances for Spurs across four years before joining fellow Londoners Queens Park Rangers.
The bulk of Sandro’s Tottenham appearances came under Harry Redknapp, who he reunited with at Loftus Road, and Villas-Boas.
After spells in Turkey, Italy and back in Brazil, the 33-year-old is currently playing in Portugal for Belensenses.
Heurelho Gomes
The 11-time Brazil international spent four-and-a-half at Spurs after arriving from PSV before joining Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim on loan for the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign.
In the summer of 2014, Gomes would join Watford on a free transfer and he would remain at Vicarage Road for six years.
The 41-year-old, who made 134 appearances for Spurs, is currently working as a club representative for Brazilian side Democrata.
Gilberto
After joining Spurs on New Year’s Day in 2008, the former Copa America winner made 10 appearances for Spurs across an 18-month period.
The left-midfielder, who arrived at White Hart Lane from Hertha Berlin, would move back to Brazil after his spell in England.
