However, Everton want at least £65 million for the 25-year-old, according to the report, which has added that the former Watford star has told the Toffees that he wants to leave and has changed his agents.
Should Tottenham Hotspur pay £65m for Richarlison?
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur should think carefully before spending £65 million on Everton forward Richarlison, described as “outstanding” by former Crystal Palace forward Clinton Morrison on BBC Sport in May 2022.
Now, of course, we know that the 25-year-old is a very good player who can play out wide or down the middle as the central striker.
Richarlison’s best years are ahead of him, and under Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte, he could improve.
However, £65 million is a lot of money to pay for a forward who has scored 48 goals and created 32 big chances in 173 Premier League appearances so far in his career.
We think that for £65 million Tottenham could get a better and more prolific forward.
