Everton and Spurs chairmen Bill Kenwright and Daniel Levy were spotted together on Monday evening (27 June) as speculation continues to swirl around Richarlison, according to Jon Sopel.

The BBC North American Editor with almost 200,000 Twitter followers shared the news and suggested that if an agreement was eventually reached, it may have been done over that dinner.

Sky Sports have reported that the Toffees are bracing themselves for a bid from Spurs for Richarlison, who looks more and more likely to leave Goodison Park.

Writing on his official Twitter account, Sopel shared what he saw as the two chairmen sat down for what could be negotiations or simply an innocent get-together.

If Richarlison does come to ⁦Spurs, suspect history will show agreement was reached last night,” he wrote.

“Bill Kenwright and Daniel Levy were having dinner together in Scott’s – and I was at table next to them.”

Beginning of the End.

All avenues are leading to Richarlison moving on now, and it looks like it could happen quickly.

Kenwright being spotted with Levy isn’t merely just a coincidence at this time of the year, with clubs all pushing to strengthen their squads at the same time.

Spurs are looking to please Antonio Conte with more fire power in the final third, and it looks as though the South American superstar is the one name they desperately want.

All we hope is that Kenwright was able to dictate the conversation and make it clear that this will be on our terms, and not those of Spurs, who are known for giving lowball offers.

If the Londoners want Richarlison, they will need to pay a minimum of £50million and that has to be the message Everton send out to everyone at this time.

This is the beginning of the end, and even though we are prepared, it makes it no easier.
