Tottenham Hotspur have continued to back Antonio Conte, with Richarlison expected to be unveiled as the north Londoners' fourth signing of the summer. The 25-year-old is expected to undergo a medical abroad on Thursday after Spurs agreed a £60million fee with Everton for the striker's signature, football.london understand.
It's said that an agreement was reached late on Wednesday evening; Spurs will reportedly table £50million up-front plus another £10million in add-ons. Richarlison, who has been on holiday following his international duty, was heavily linked with an exit from Goodison Park amid interest from a host of Premier League sides, though it seems Tottenham have proven to be victorious in their efforts.
football.london also understand that personal terms have been agreed too, which proved not to be an issue, and the deal is set to be 'pushed through quickly' ahead of the Financial Fair Play deadline on June 30 to help Everton. The Toffees' have continued to face FFP problems and the sale of Richarlison can bolster their case to provide evidence of an agreement, thus counting towards the final year of the financial fair play ruling.
