There is a growing confidence within Tottenham Hotspur that Richarlison will join from Everton to boost Antonio Conte's squad, football.london understands.
Talks between the two clubs are understood to be progressing positively and there is a growing belief within Spurs that the 25-year-old will be linking up with Conte's squad for pre-season in the weeks ahead. Richarlison netted 10 goals and laid on five assists in 30 Premier League matches for struggling Everton last season as he helped them avoid relegation.
Spurs have made the Brazil international one of their key targets this summer with his ability to hit the ground running in the league and also play anywhere across the front line, giving Conte more options and support for Harry Kane in the striker role when required. Richarlison filled in for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in leading the line for Everton last season and kept his place up front at times after the England international returned.
