According to a report by Give Me Sport, Everton are viewing Richarlison as a priority signing ahead of the summer transfer window. David Moyes seeks more firepower for his frontline, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future has come under considerable doubt, with Richarlison seen as an ideal addition given he could be allowed to leave Tottenham.
Richarlison was seen as a game-changing transfer back in 2022 when Tottenham shelled out £60 million to sign him from Everton. He was at the top of his game after helping the Toffees avoid relegation, and this transfer was seen as a big one for Spurs.
In hindsight, this has turned out to be one of Tottenham’s worst transfer decisions, as Richarlison produced one goal in his first season. While his second campaign did produce 11 strikes in the league, the third one has been injury-ravaged, where he has featured only 12 times.
Tottenham are ready to consider offers in the summer, and there are some links to clubs including those from Saudi Arabia. Richarlison has ruled out a return to Brazil as he might favour a Saudi move, but he might also look for other opportunities on his table.
Everton are already thinking about a cut-price move, given the £60 million Tottenham flop’s stock has fallen considerably since he left Goodison Park. Whether they can convince Spurs over a deal remains to be seen as the Toffees must also sell the idea to the Brazilian.
Everton are set to enter an important phase in the club’s era, as they make their bow in a brand new stadium. However, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future is under a cloud of doubt with the striker’s current deal ending in the summer, which could force the Toffees into the market for a replacement.
Richarlison is seen as an ideal option in that regard, with Moyes likely to spearhead the idea of convincing the £60 million Tottenham flop to move back to his old club. Any deal will depend on the monetary part, as Spurs are unlikely to let go of the forward on the cheap, with two years remaining on his contract.
