Richarlison joining Spurs might not be the most comforting news for those of a Chelsea persuasion. Antonio Conte is getting the signings he craves ahead of an important season where even lofty shouts of a title bid are being sounded from North London, which is never good.
Though across London, this news may quietly be greeted by one Kai Havertz.
Havertz, who currently is placed as the most likely name to be favoured as Thomas Tuchel's centre-forward, might have wondered what the plans were for the upcoming season should a reported late hijack for Richarlison had come off.
