Paratici transfer priority
Fabio Paratici has been drawn to the goalkeeping position as a priority for future transfer windows as Hugo Lloris enters the final two years of his contract.
The 35-year-old is still a mainstay in Antonio Conte's Spurs team and has four clean sheets in 10 matches so far this term but talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor has questioned his ability, claiming that Lloris' opposite against Everton, Jordon Pickford, might be a good choice to replace the Spurs captain.
He said: "I’m not a fan of Lloris to be honest. I don’t think he’s as good as people think on the ball."

The Frenchman had very little to do against Frank Lampard's side, especially in the second half in which Everton registered a 0.00 xG.

Midfielders run the show
Conte had his two central midfielders to thank for anchoring a dominant second half against Everton in-which both of the two goals were scored and the Toffees were penned into their own half.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and fellow midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur helped to take control of the game after a frustrating first 45 minutes though and the Danish player even managed to himself on the scoresheet once again.
Elsewhere, Harry Kane scored a penalty in a strong showing for the striker. First he fired at goal from Davies' cross and was then brought down by the Pickford before scoring on his 400th appearance for the club

Richarlison fear
Richarlison left the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on crutches after pulling up with a calf-strain early in the second half.
The striker looked heartbroken as he hobbled off the field and will now face a nervous wait ahead to find out the damage amid fears that he might not be fit enough for the 2022 winter World Cup in Qatar.
Spurs still have eight matches in the next four weeks before the league breaks up for the tournament and Richarlison is expected to be part of his national team's squad, should he be considered fit enough.
The striker is likely to find out on Monday the severity of the injury, and was emotional when leaving the stadium.
