Tottenham want Anthony Gordon and Richarlison but Everton are standing firm on Gordon – but are open to selling Richarlison.
Tottenham are seeking attacking reinforcements this summer despite establishing a sensational front three.
Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski have truly become a three-headed monster in the Tottenham attack.
Yet with Steven Bergwijn likely to go and Kane needing support through the middle, Fabio Paratici is keen on adding not one but two attackers – and they could come from the same club.
Tottenham want Anthony Gordon and Richarlison
Reports from Sky Sports on Monday suggested that Tottenham wanted Everton duo Gordon and Richarlison.
Tottenham’s interest in Richarlison has been spoken about for weeks now but the Gordon pursuit seems new.
Tottenham would ideally want a striker who can also play out wide, making Richarlison potentially perfect.
Yet with homegrown numbers dwindling, Tottenham also need English talent – and may see Gordon as a player who can feature on either flank.
Prising the two players away from Everton won’t be easy and the Toffees seem adamant about keeping one of the players involved.
The Daily Mail claim that Everton have completely dismissed the idea of selling both Gordon and Richarlison to Tottenham.
Intriguingly, it looks like Gordon is the one that Everton are most determined to keep.
It’s stated that Everton are open to letting Richarlison join Tottenham, possibly in a deal involving Spurs midfielder Harry Winks.
Yet when it comes to Gordon, Everton seemingly just have no interest in a deal.
Richarlison may be the bigger name with the more proven Premier League reputation but Gordon is a homegrown talent.
Everton fans love Gordon and the Toffees will be mindful of selling a true Evertonian this summer.
If Tottenham throw millions at Everton then maybe they will change their stance, but it currently sounds like Spurs have a much better chance of singing Richarlison.
