Tottenham plan move to sign ‘top player’ from Everton after Richarlison deal

Tottenham still want Anthony Gordon and now want to use Dele Alli’s January move in an attempt to sign the Everton talent.

Tottenham have raided Everton in recent days by signing striker Richarlison after weeks of speculation.

Richarlison should offer quality to Tottenham’s attacking ranks and has the ability to cover for both Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

The Brazilian’s arrival continues Tottenham’s strong start to the summer window – and they may not be done raiding Everton yet.

Tottenham still want Anthony Gordon

Reports from Sky Sports last week suggested that Richarlison wasn’t the only Everton player being targeted as Tottenham also wanted Anthony Gordon.

Everton ruled out a double deal with Tottenham but Spurs aren’t ready to give up hope of signing the winger just yet.

The Sunday Mirror (03/07, p74) report that Tottenham now want to launch a new move for Gordon after signing Richarlison.

It’s stated that Everton will owe Tottenham £10million as part of the deal for Dele Alli once he makes 20 appearances.

Tottenham would offer £20million for Gordon whilst writing off the £10million Alli cash, essentially taking the deal up to £30million.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is allegedly a big fan of Gordon and Spurs will continue to push for his signature.

Hailed as a ‘top player’ by John Terry, it’s clear that Gordon has made a huge impact during this past season with Everton.

Gordon, 21, returned to Everton last summer after a disappointing loan spell at Preston North End.

Yet Gordon then became one of Everton’s few shining lights in a dismal season, producing exciting and committed displays for the Toffees.

As a homegrown talent, losing Gordon would be a huge blow for Everton and you can understand why they want to keep him – especially after selling Richarlison.

It was rumoured that Tottenham would try and use the Alli deal to sign Richarlison, but it now seems that they could try it with Gordon too as Spurs look to secure the winger for their all-important homegrown quota.
