Insider| Talks have taken place Tottenham’s Champions League football is the key factor

Everton FC striker Richarlison is heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, as the Brazil international is keen on playing UEFA Champions League football, which the north London club can provide. 

The 24-year-old is under contract until 2024 but reportedly wants to leave Goodison Park during this transfer window. Football Insider reports that talks have occurred this week between Tottenham and Everton over a potential deal.

When it comes to a possible fee Spurs might have to pay The Toffees, their Premier League rival is holding out for a fee of around £50 million for its prized asset, which they have reportedly failed to extend his contract. 

Football Insider adds that Tottenham wants to recruit a dynamic attacking player capable of playing out wide and providing cover down the middle for Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, their two star players on their offense.

Since joining Everton in 2018, Richarlison has made 152 appearances, scoring 53 goals and recording 14 assists.
