Paul Merson has criticised Tottenham Hotspur's signing of Richarlison - while urging Everton to replace the fan favourite with a move for Steven Bergwijn.
Richarlison completed his £60m transfer to Spurs on Friday. The forward scored 53 goals in 152 appearances across four years at Everton. This included 10 in 30 during the last Premier League season. His performances were crucial as he stepped up to help guide the Blues to safety, shouldering the attacking burden after Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed large parts of the campaign and struggled for fitness and form.
Tottenham have been active in the early weeks of the transfer window with Richarlison adding to their captures of Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster. But despite seemingly recruiting from a position of strength and adding to their attacking assets, Merson told the Daily Star that Richarlison is a poor acquisition.
