Tottenham: Eccleshare makes ‘exciting’ Richarlison claim

Tottenham Hotspur journalist Charlie Eccleshare of The Athletic has now shared a ‘most exciting’ update involving the Lilywhites and Everton striker Richarlison.
The Lowdown: Spurs prepare…
Looking to build upon manager Antonio Conte’s top four finish in the Premier League last year, Spurs and transfer chief Fabio Paratici have taken to the summer market with real intent.
Having confirmed three major signings already, securing deals for Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma, the club are aiming to agree even more before Conte’s 2022/2023 pre-season begins.
Tottenham have apparently earmarked the possible additions of a right-wing-back, central defensive star and forward as priority next moves with Eccleshare now sharing what he knows on Richarlison.
The Latest: Eccleshare makes Richarlison claim…
The reliable journalist claims Tottenham and Paratici may well be in pole position to sign the Brazil international amid an ‘exciting’ update.
He explained, when commenting on the club’s summer deals (via Twitter):
“The furthest along + most exciting is Richarlison: discussions are progressing + advanced. Spurs favourites despite other interest.”
The Verdict: Massive…
As per WhoScored, it’s seriously little surprise pundits like ex-Leeds United striker Noel Whelan have branded the 25-year-old one of Everton’s ‘big name‘ players.
Who does Conte need to sign after Bissouma?

Indeed, the South American star racked up their most goals and shots at goal last season whilst finishing the 21/22 campaign as their best-performing player by average match rating.
Spurs being in pole position to sign Richarlison comes as yet another promising update after an already brilliant transfer window for supporters – and if reports are to be believed – yet more could follow.
