Chelsea have a genuine interest in Everton and Brazil attacker Richarlison this summer. The 25-year-old has emerged as one of Thomas Tuchel's top targets as the Blues head coach looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the 2022/23 season.
football.london understands Tuchel is a big fan of the Brazil international, who ended up scoring 10 Premier League goals last season as he spearheaded Everton's escape from relegation. Chelsea could also face competition from Tottenham, with transfer chief Fabio Paratici also very keen on the attacker. There's an understanding at Everton that Richarlison could leave the club this summer, with the forward having just two years left to run on his current contract at Goodison Park.
With Romelu Lukaku looking set to leave Chelsea and re-join Inter Milan on loan in the coming days, the Blues' pursuit of the likes of Richarlison, Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele could be about to heat up. So, with this being said, football.london caught up with Liverpool ECHO correspondent Chris Beesley about what Richarlison could offer Chelsea.
