Spurs set to announce signing of Everton star Richarlison within hours
Spurs are set to announce the signing of Everton forward Richarlison in the coming hours, according to UOL.
The Brazilian outlet have reported that the South American star has already undergone his medical tests ahead of the move and is now waiting on it to be finalised.
The blockbuster deal will be worth up to £60million for the Toffees, who needed to push it through today on the final day of the current financial year.
Richarlison is said to be waiting on the final details.
A five-year deal is waiting and ready to be signed by the Brazilian, as he gets set to work with Antonio Conte and alongside two of the Premier League’s best attackers.
It will be a sad sight for many to see him smashing defences alongside Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, but it was one of those exits that looked inevitable from the start.
Coming.
Just because we saw this one coming, it doesn’t make it any easier.
In all honesty, we are fuming that the board has allowed it to come to this, with Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright driving the club into the ground before putting themselves in a position where they have to accept any kind of deal for our best player.
Will this be the first of many? Or the only one?
No one will be able to answer that given how much of a mess things are at Goodison Park, but if it isn’t reinvested smartly, we could be staring down the barrel again next season.
Frank Lampard now has a huge task on his hands too, and he will be demanding to know how much of this money he can actually spend on new players because we’re guessing it won’t be all of it.
Richarlison needs to be replaced, we cannot start next season relying on Anthony Gordon all over again, Dominic Calvert-Lewin needs to step up, and another attacker would help massively.
