CalcioMercatoWeb claim Tottenham are now ‘set’ to win the race and sign Everton attacker Richarlison – edging AC Milan and Juventus aside in the race for the Brazilian. Spurs talks are at an ‘advanced’ stage.
Richarlison, who only turned 25 last month, had a hand in 16 goals during 33 games for Everton last season despite the Toffees finding themselves in a relegation fight. He is said to want a move away from the Toffees.

Reports claim that Spurs want four more signings after Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic. Richarlison is one of those, along with either Alessandro Bastoni or Pau Torres, Christian Eriksen and Djed Spence.
Now, CMW report that Tottenham are closing in on a move for Richarlison – whether that is a player-plus-cash deal, or a £50million move. The report says talks are at an advanced stage, and Spurs will beat both Milan and Juventus.
Tottenham set to win race and sign Richarlison
Spurs are really getting a move on. Reports state they are closing in on a deal for Bissouma of Brighton, with a £25million fee agreed. They are also set to bid £20million for Djed Spence.
It sees Spurs bring in a top-quality right-sided wing-back, as well as top-quality cover for Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield. Now, they need cover for Harry Kane.
Richarlison is perfect. Not just because he is a top striker, but he can also play on the right or the left, meaning he will not simply be cover for Kane. He will be a heavily-involved player, if he is to join Spurs.
