# Tottenham: Spurs now ‘open talks’ to sign Richarlison

**According to [journalist](https://twitter.com/simpraisa) Raisa Simplicio, [Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have now officially opened ‘talks’ to sign Everton forward Richarlison.**

### The Lowdown: Trio of interest in the capital

In what was a disappointing [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season for the Toffees having only just managed to escape relegation, the 25-year-old was a standout performer in a struggling side and played a huge part in helping Frank Lampard’s men avoid the dreaded drop.

The Brazilian only has [two years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/profil/spieler/378710) left on his contract at Goodison Park, meaning that now will be the one of the last opportunities for the club to cash in big on their highly-rated striker.

It’s fair to say that he’s not short on potential suitors, with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, alongside the Lilywhites, all said to be very [keen](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10868801/Richarlison-admits-weighing-Everton-future-amid-Chelsea-Tottenham-Arsenal-interest.html) on securing his signature.

### The Latest: Spurs open talks for Richarlison

Taking to Twitter, Simplicio, editor for GOAL Brazil, [revealed](https://twitter.com/simpraisa/status/1540022691817820160) the latest on Richarlison’s transfer situation: “Tottenham open talks to sign Richarlison.”

Expanding further in her column for [the major South American outlet](https://www.goal.com/br/not%C3%ADcias/tottenham-abre-negociacao-para-contratar-richarlison/bltcfbe060a90695b4f), the reporter claims that Tottenham are ‘expected to submit a bid’ for the attacker ‘in the coming days’, and says that there will likely be a meeting between the player’s agent and Spurs chiefs.

### The Verdict: Champions League ambitions

Antonio Conte has already been [linked](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/richarlison-raphinha-paqueta-tottenham-transfer-24303378) with the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha in recent weeks as he searches for a new frontline addition, but if Richarlison ends up being the one he goes for, he is sure to be a fantastic signing.

The [£43.2m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/marktwertverlauf/spieler/378710)-rated gem, who was [dubbed](https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/05/01/leon-osman-delighted-with-richarlison-impact-against-chelsea/) a “magnificent” player by former Toffees favourite Leon Osman, netted ten goals and provided five assists in the league last season, via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/leistungsdaten/spieler/378710), but will no doubt feel like he is now destined for bigger things.

The opportunity of playing Champions League football is a massive pulling factor for any potential fresh face, and when it comes down to Richarlison finalising where his next destination will be, the prospect of putting his tenacity and non-stop work rate to use for Conte is extremely enticing.
