Everton ‘to pounce on Richarlison’ as priority emerges amid Tottenham talks
Richarlison and Everton seem like a match made in heaven as the Tottenham forward’s future is up in the air ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Toffees made a decent profit from the Brazil international’s sale to the North London outfit in 2022.
Since then, the Blues have had several strikers play for them, but none of them have had the impact the former Fluminense striker had in L4.
With Richarlison’s Spurs future in doubt, it’s only natural to see a return to the Merseyside outfit being mooted.
David Moyes will need Richarlison at Everton next season
David Moyes has relied on Beto to lead his line at the Toffees this season, but the centre-forward’s impact has dwindled in recent matches.
As Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract at Goodison Park enters its final months, there is an urgent need for attacking reinforcement at the Blues.
The Merseyside outfit weren’t the best going forward under Sean Dyche, and while the former Burnley manager’s tactics were to blame for many of the issues, there’s an apparent lack of depth up front.
Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti have been nowhere to be seen for most of the campaign due to their consistent fitness issues, highlighting one of the problems The Friedkin Group (TFG) must fix.

Tottenham update to give Moyes encouragement of Richarlison transfer
Moyes would undoubtedly be delighted to have Richarlison in his ranks for the start of next season at Bramley-Moore Dock.
While the Brazilian star has had his own fitness issues at Tottenham this season, the Toffees shouldn’t hesitate to sanction his return.
Richarlison enjoyed his spell at Goodison Park and has already seemingly given hints of wanting to return to a familiar environment.
Spurs and the former Everton striker are set to meet in the coming weeks to decide his future, according to Eduardo Burgos.
The Diario AS journalist revealed on X (4 April) that while several teams in Brazil want Richarlison, his priority is to stay in Europe.

| 33 | 11 | 5 |
It’s been claimed that the 27-year-old’s return to his home country isn’t ruled out, but it’s seen as very difficult.
The Toffees have a clear chance to pounce on the centre-forward’s transfer and convince him to relive his best years in Merseyside.
Fans would undoubtedly welcome Richarlison with both arms, giving TFG an easy decision to make regarding his transfer.
The Blues could potentially also be able to agree a cut-price deal with Tottenham for the Brazilian ace, considering his lack of impact and game time there.
Moyes should champion the 27-year-old’s singing as a priority next summer.
