Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur have made Everton forward Richarlison ‘a prominent target’, according to The Daily Mail, with Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea also keen on signing the Brazil international.
The Daily Mail have reported that Tottenham are determined to sign forward Richarlison from Premier League rivals Everton in the summer transfer window.
Spurs, though, will face competition from their bitter London rivals Chelsea.
According to journalist Miguel Delaney in his Reading the Game newsletter in The Independent. Chelsea are very keen on Richarlison and are likely to have a better chance of signing the 25-year-old than Arsenal and Tottenham.
Could Tottenham sign Richarlison ahead of Chelsea?
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur could be able to sign Richarlison ahead of Chelsea from Everton in the summer transfer window.
Now, of course, we know that Spurs have a very good attacking unit.
Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski are playing well for Spurs, but the North London club do need more options as they will have Champions League football next season.
Richarlison, who cost Everton £35 million in transfer fees (BBC Sport), would add more depth to Conte’s attack, and the chance to play under a world-class manager and be part of something special could tempt him.
