Richarlison looks set to return to Everton, with Iliman Ndiaye going the other way to Tottenham.

There has been speculation around a return for the Brazilian all summer, while the Senegal international has been subject to exit talk.

David Moyes is keen for attacking reinforcements this summer, and was keen not to lose Ndiaye.

However, it appears that the Blues have been tempted to let him go, with their former superstar coming the other way.

Richarlison scored 53 goals and notched 15 assists for the Toffees in 152 matches.

What have Everton and Tottenham agreed with Iliman Ndiaye and Richarlison?

Everton have agreed blockbuster deals which will see Ndiaye join Roberto De Zerbi's side and Richarlison come the other way.

David Ornstein broke the news on Sunday, claiming that they are separate deals, with principle agreements in place.

He stated that the transfers are subject to personal terms being agreed and medicals, which will come next.

Whether the groundbreaking deal works out or not likely depends on those two things succeeding.

Who is getting the better deal in this situation?

Ndiaye is the younger man by three years, as he is 26 years old and Richarlison is 29.

However, the latter performed better last season, with 12 goals and five assists in 43 matches in all competition.

Ndiaye managed six goals and three assists in 34 matches, so it may work out to be a better deal for the Merseysiders.

There may be concerns about Richarlison's injury record, as he missed 74 matches for club and country in his time in North London.

However, he was fit for most of the last campaign, so he may well have put fitness issues behind him.

He only missed seven games through injury last time out, so that suggests that he can stay fit in the current campaign.

The winner of the deal likely depends on the financial conditions of the deal, which has not been revealed yet.
