# Tottenham Hotspur: Journalist shares big pre-summer Richarlison news

**Portuguese transfer journalist Bruno Andrade, who contributes for [CNN and UOL Esporte](https://mobile.twitter.com/brunoandrd), has now shared a big pre-summer update involving Tottenham Hotspur and Everton striker Richarlison.**

### The Lowdown: Conte eyes new forward?

The Lilywhites, who arguably lack sufficient back-up for star man Harry Kane, have been tipped to add an alternative striker to their ranks in recent months amid their lack of depth in that position.

Most recently, the likes of [Darwin Nunez (Benfica)](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/spurs-transfer-news-benfica-a-bola-darwin-nunez-update-latest-thfc-gossip-rumours/) and [Paulo Dybala (Juventus)](https://maxstatman.com/interview-with-romeo-agresti-juventus%CA%BCs-transfer-plans-dybala-next-destination-and-players-expiring-contracts-situation/) have been linked with a move to Tottenham as transfer chief Fabio Paratici aims to back Antonio Conte in the summer market.

Talks have also been held over the likes of Alvaro Morata, according to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-in-deadline-day-move-to-sign-morata-sources/) in late January, with news now coming to light on a surprise new target in Toffees star Richarlison.

### The Latest: Tottenham ‘already’ make first move…

According to [Andrade](https://mobile.twitter.com/brunoandrd/status/1512459219433308161?s=21&t=DXyAoqzFjUkBeTWzPR55Cg), Spurs and Paratici ‘above all’ have ‘already taken polls’ to sign the 24-year-old – allegedly making contact with Everton as they make their first move pre-summer.

The reporter adds that Richarlison himself ‘prepares transfer within the Premier League’ as Frank Lampard’s prize asset eyes a Merseyside exit.

### The Verdict: Ambitious move

The Goodison Park club, amid a scrap against relegation, are also hampered by financial trouble off the field as they face the biggest losses out of any English team in the past three years ([The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/crisis-deepens-for-everton-as-they-face-biggest-financial-losses-in-english-football-w7p9r2hdp)).

This could mean Everton simply have to sell this summer in a bid to balance the books, especially if they drop down to the Championship, and it’s little surprise Tottenham are allegedly thinking to take advantage.

The [£110,000-per-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/richarlison/) forward has been a key player for Everton over these last few seasons, topping their Premier League charts over 2021/2022 too with the most goals and assists combined ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton)).

He also ranks in as the Blues’ best performer this season going by average match rating per 90 ([6.87](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/31/Show/England-Everton)) with the proven top flight attacker coming as a logical Tottenham target.
