Everton transfer window heads for horror end of own making amid Richarlison latest
Richarlison's proposed move from Tottenham Hotspur to Everton may be in doubt.
The Blues had reportedly agreed a £25million deal, with a further £10m in add-ons for the Spurs star.
The 28-year-old lit up Goodison Park in his time with the Toffees, notching 53 goals and 15 assists.
He has long hinted at a return and it looked as though he was going to finally get his way.
A new update may have put the brakes on the Brazilian's fairytale comeback, and leave the Blues' transfer window in tatters.

Why Everton could have horrendous end to the transfer window amid Richarlison latest
The end to Everton's window is turning into a horror show of their own making.
The latest on Richarlison is that he is expected to stay put with Roberto De Zerbi's side.
That is according to London-beat writer Jacob Steinberg, with The Guardian journalist taking to X on Monday to share the news.
Everton are selling Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City, look to have missed out on Richarlison and are still far apart with Monaco for Folarin Balogun.
It could be an absolutely horrendous finale that could leave them in a dismal position for the rest of the campaign.
Why are Everton chasing two strikers?
Thierno Barry has started the season well, with four goals in three games, but the draw with Bournemouth exposed his flaws.
He needs genuine competition to raise his levels both in training and on the pitch.
Beto looks like he is on his way to Fiorentina, being pictured in the gear and set to undergo a medical with the Italian side.
Therefore, it is vital that they bring in at least one forward, if not two, to maximise their chances of European qualification this season.
The fact that they are haggling over Balogun and the Richarlison deal has seemingly fallen apart should be a huge concern, given that we are just over 24 hours away from the deadline.
