Richarlison has said it is 'very difficult' to say goodbye to Everton after completing a £60million move to Tottenham Hotspur. The forward spent four years at Goodison Park after completing a move from Watford in 2018.
The 25-year-old was a key reason why Frank Lampard's side were able to avoid the drop last season in the Premier League with his 10 goals and five assists across the campaign.
Richarlison will join up with Antonio Conte's Spurs side who will embark on a season in the Champions League. The forward could line up next to the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

In a message on his social media accounts, Richarlison said to the Everton fans: "It's very difficult to say goodbye to a place that has become my home; fans who welcomed as if I were one of them; and a club that treated me kindly and helped me develop my sense of community and empathy. Neither all the love I have is enough to thank you. Love you!"
Richarlison scored 43 league goals across 135 appearances and will be missed dearly by the Everton faithful. the £60m now gives Lampard the chance to put his own stamp on his Blues side.
