Ray Parlour has claimed that Everton boss, Frank Lampard, ‘won’t be happy’ at the prospect of Tottenham wanting to sign Richarlison this summer.
The Arsenal legend thinks if Richarlison signs for Spurs, then Everton will be losing one of their ‘best players’.
During the recently concluded Premier League campaign, the Brazil international hit ten goals as the Toffees survived relegation by the skin of their teeth.
Now that the season is done and dusted, there is talk that Spurs want to bring him to the capital.
Given those rumours flying about regarding the 25-year-old, this is how Parlour reacted, whilst speaking to talkSPORT.
“I don’t think Frank (Lampard) will be too happy, will he?” said Parlour. “When you are losing your best players.
“I think Harry Winks was mentioned a little bit part of the deal. Would you take Harry? (If you are Everton).”
CAN EVERTON KEEP HOLD OF RICHARLISON?
Everton are a big enough club to fend off interest from the likes of Tottenham for their star players.
But the fact that Antonio Conte’s side are in the Champions League and the Merseyside club seem to be having some financial issues.
Then, all of that doesn’t really bode well for someone like Lampard, who will be glad that the recent season is over.
But, in order to change the mess they have found themselves in over the years, they need their key players on board.
