# Tottenham: Alasdair Gold excited by Richarlison news, promises ‘more’

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) correspondent [Alasdair Gold](https://twitter.com/AlasdairGold) has been reacting to the signing of Richarlison, which was confirmed by the club on Friday morning.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs unveil Richarlison

The Brazilian’s Everton exit always seemed inevitable, with the Toffees only just narrowly managing to escape [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) relegation last season.

There were several top-flight clubs [interested](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18986042/chelsea-arsenal-spurs-transfer-jesus-richarlison-raphinha/) in securing the forward’s services, predominantly Chelsea and Arsenal, but it was the Lilywhites who ended up beating their London rivals to win the race for his signature after it was [officially announced](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2022/june/richarlison-joins-from-everton/) on Friday that the 25-year-old had put pen to paper on a five-year deal with Spurs.

### The Latest: Gold reacts

Taking to Twitter, Gold shared his excitement about Richarlison’s move and is looking forward to seeing what other transfer business Spurs complete this window.

Quoting a tweet directly from the club [unveiling](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1542780217562906624) the former Goodison Park man, the reporter [wrote](https://twitter.com/AlasdairGold/status/1542780514892922880):

*“That’s number four done, it’s July 1 and there’s more to come. What has happened to Tottenham Hotspur?”*

### The Verdict: A fresh creative outlet

Richarlison now becomes Tottenham’s fourth summer signing, following in the footsteps of Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma as Antonio Conte continues to create his new-look squad ahead of next season.

The striker was the standout performer in a struggling Everton side under Frank Lampard, muserting 16 goal contributions in 33 appearances across all competitions last term, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/leistungsdaten/spieler/378710/plus/0?saison=2021), highlighting how prolific he can be in the final third.

Spurs do have plenty of attacking prowess in Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min, but Richarlison has the versatility to play either on the flank or down the middle, so his arrival will create a fresh new outlet for the Italian up top, who will need all the numbers he can get with the extra fixtures once the Champions League campaign begins.
