Tottenham Hotspur began the summer transfer window in positive fashion with the arrivals of three new signings, but now they are looking to follow up those impressive dealings by securing a deal for Richarlison from Everton.
The Brazilian has expressed his desire to depart the Toffees this summer, who narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship last season with one game to spare, and the latest reports have revealed that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has held talks with Everton chief Bill Kenwright.
But ahead of a proposed move to north London, one of Richarlison’s current teammates has labelled it “disrespectful” to suggest that moving to Spurs is “a step up” from Everton.
