Cristian Romero's tackle on Richarlison looks even funnier now they'll be teammates at Spurs

Richarlison’s big-money move from Everton to Tottenham Hotspur is nearing completion.

On Thursday morning, the proposed deal received the sought-after ‘here we go’ treatment from Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs will cough up £60 million in total, £50 million up front and £10 million in add-ons, to bring the versatile Brazilian forward to north London.

It’s a signing that is a serious statement of intent by Antonio Conte’s side, one which significantly strengthens the forward line.

Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Lucas Moura as options up top? Yeah, that sounds pretty tasty to us.

Richarlison will also bring yet more passion to the Spurs team. As well as being ridiculously talented, he’s a man who will do whatever it takes to gain an on-pitch advantage – just like soon-to-be teammate Cristian Romero.

Those two in the same team will be quite something in 2022/23, although things may be a tad awkward between the pair in their first training session together.

Why do we say that? Well, when they last went toe-to-toe in a Premier League arena, a match in which Spurs beat Everton 5-0 on home soil, Romero upended Richarlison with a rather brutal late tackle.

To be honest, the descriptor ‘late’ is something of an understatement…

The fact these 2 are going to be teammates will never not be funny
