Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Everton forward Richarlison and the player will now undergo a medical, according to reports.
As per Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian is set for a medical in his homeland ahead of a £50 million move to the capital.
Richarlison, 25, played a crucial role in the Toffees’ late push for survival last term, and has been heavily linked with a number of clubs including Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.
Romano explains that personal terms between the Brazil international and Spurs had already been agreed, and an agreement has now been reached between the two clubs.
Richarlison is set to join Tottenham
Antonio Conte has already signed Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on free transfers and also added former Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma to his squad for a fee of around £26.2 million.
Richarlison, who scored 53 goals in 152 games for the Lilywhites, will be a welcome addition to Conte’s side as he prepares his squad for a Champions League campaign.
Providing he passes his medical, official confirmation of Richarlison’s move can be expected in the coming days.
