Everton News reports that the club is considering a summer transfer for Richarlison, who is likely to leave Tottenham at the end of the season.
The Brazilian forward has expressed his dissatisfaction with not getting enough playing time and goals this season. He will enter the final two years of his contract in July, and Tottenham may want to sell him while they still have the chance.
Despite the rumors about his potential move away from north London, Richarlison recently mentioned:
David Moyes could benefit from having another option in attack, as both Beto and Thierno Barry have struggled with consistency this season.
A 3-1 loss to West Ham on Saturday marked the team’s third defeat in four matches, leaving them four points above the relegation zone with five games to play. The situation remains precarious.
Richarlison return: Why Everton should re-sign the forward this summer
There are several reasons why Everton might want to bring Richarlison back this summer.
Despite Tottenham’s struggles, he has scored more goals than any player on Sean Dyche’s current squad this season.
Richarlison’s performance highlights his value compared to Everton’s current players. His statistics surpass those of Jack Harrison and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
In addition to his eight Premier League goals, Richarlison has provided three assists and scored once in the Champions League, making 30 appearances in all competitions this season.
Everton News previously mentioned that Richarlison would be open to returning to Goodison Park in the future.
If Beto and Barry do not improve soon, David Moyes might feel the need for experienced options. Being familiar with Dyche’s style could also be an advantage.
If Tottenham faces relegation, Richarlison’s market value could significantly decrease. Even if they stay up, Spurs will be disadvantaged with only a year left on his contract.
