The Evening Standard have shared some Tottenham Hotspur news on the club's - and by extension sporting director Fabio Paratici's - transfer plans for the centre-forward position this summer.

The Lowdown: Spurs keep chasing deals...

After seeing midfielder Yves Bissouma arrive in north London from Premier League club Brighton, Spurs head coach Antonio Conte is reliably believed to be chasing yet more deals before the start of the 2022/23 campaign.

Having also secured Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic on free transfers, the north Londoners have now set their sights on a right wing-back, a central defender and a new striker to compete with superstar Harry Kane (Evening Standard).

Sharing some news on the latter plan, one outlet and reliable source has some news for Lilywhites supporters.

The Latest: Paratici's striker plans explained...

According to the Evening Standard, as arch-rivals Arsenal reportedly close in on Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, Spurs and Paratici have their eyes on another forward.

Indeed, Everton star Richarlison is believed to be in Tottenham's sights, with the club 'also interested' in signing him.

In a possible boost for Conte and Spurs, while the Toffees are demanding more than £50m for the 25-year-old, it is believed that Everton 'could be forced to lower their valuation' given their need to sell.

The Verdict: Take advantage?

Once set with a price tag of around £100m, Richarlison's valuation has already dropped significantly over the last few years, despite the South American continuing to impress at Goodison Park.

If Everton are forced to lower their price even more and gift Spurs a discount, we that believe this move would be a no-brainer for Conte.

As per WhoScored, Richarlison finished 2021/22 as Everton's top scorer (10 goals) and best-performing player by average match rating, leaving no wonder as to why pundit Noel Whelan called him one of their 'big name' players and his manager Frank Lampard labelled him a 'huge talent'.
