David Moyes makes Richarlison transfer admission amid Everton talk
David Moyes has issued an emphatic response to a potential move for Richarlison this summer.
The 27-year-old spent four years at Goodison Park before signing at Tottenham for £60million in 2022.
Meanwhile, Moyes has done well during his second stint at Everton so far and will be looking to reach new heights at their new stadium in Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
Richarlison has been projected to become the latest marquee signing for the Toffees, but his purchase may be a little further than anticipated.
Moyes rules out Richarlison signing
Everton are expected to have a busy summer with 15 players out of contract in June; however, Richarlison is an unlikely incoming.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Everton’s trip to Craven Cottage, the Everton coach said: “Richarlison is a really good player and someone I’ve liked.
“But I can only tell you there is zero truth in that from my side.”
Moyes is wise not to bring Richarlison in
The 62-year-old has had a decent spell since his return to the Blues, defeated twice in his last five Premier League games.

Richarlison has played just 21 games for Tottenham this season, accumulating a mere 848 minutes.
His output during that time has not fared any better, contributing five goals and two assists for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Meanwhile, Everton’s starting striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, has not offered much more playing 23 matches this season with 1.595 minutes to his name.
Additionally, his output has been more disappointing than the Brazilians’, producing just three goals and two assists all season.
If Everton are serious about their pursuit of a new forward, a high-scoring attacker who can contribute more than just their well-wishes from their settee would suit them well.
