Everton have confirmed that Richarlison has left the club to join Tottenham Hotspur.
As reported by the ECHO on Thursday morning, the two clubs have agreed a £60million package for the 25-year-old, a small amount of which will be performance related, and will not involve any players moving in the opposite direction.
Richarlison underwent his medical in Brazil on Thursday with Tottenham staff present and is due back in the UK next week. Watford will receive a small fee as part of the deal due to a sell-on clause they inserted in the deal that took him to Merseyside.
