Tottenham Hotspur's attempts to sign Everton star Richarlison may have been given a boost as an update comes out of north London.
The Lowdown: Spurs keep moving...
After completing a trio of deals to sign Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma, it is reliably believed that Spurs transfer chief Fabio Paratici has his eye on more incomings for manager Antonio Conte.
A right-wing-back, central defender and centre-forward are said to be priorities for the Lilywhites, who are looking to build upon their top four Premier League finish at the back end of last term.
Subsequent qualification for the Champions League has gifted the club a £150m equity increase which has so far been put to use in the summer market, with a promising update now coming to light involving one of the Lilywhites' targets.
The Latest: Romano shares promising Richarlison update...
Toffees striker Richarlison, who is said to be on Spurs' radar, may well be on the move before the start of 2022/2023.
Taking to Twitter, reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Brazil international is now interested in a move to Hotspur Way with the club having 'discussed' him in recent transfer talks with Everton.

The transfer guru explained: "Tottenham are still well informed on Richarlison - was discussed during talks for Harry Winks-Everton. Richarlison would be open to Spurs move. It also depends on Raphinha domino.
"Winks talks going slow, as he could be included in Richarlison talks or separated deal."
The Verdict: Get it done...
Finishing 2021/22 as the Goodison Park club's best-performing player, as per WhoScored, we believe that the South American would be a grand addition for Conte.
He was also Everton's top scorer last season in the top flight (10) whilst averaging more attempts at goal per 90 than any member of Frank Lampard's squad (WhoScored).
It's little wonder that journalists such as CBS Sports editor Mike Goodman have claimed that the 25-year-old is a 'unique' player, and Richarlison may well fit in to what Conte is building in N17.
