Ex-BBC man claims Tottenham now have a ‘massive enticement’ for ‘huge talent’ hailed by Neymar

Richarlison would jump at the chance to swap Everton for Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to one-time BBC radio pundit Noel Whelan.

On 11 May, The Telegraph reported that the Toffees star is one of three players that the Lilywhites are keeping their eye on ahead of the summer transfer window.

Earlier this month, Football Insider shared the news that Everton are likely to accept offers in excess of £50m for the 25-year-old, and they further revealed that the Brazil international is intent on a move away from Goodison Park.

Whelan, who once worked as a pundit for BBC Radio Leeds, has claimed that Spurs would have a big pulling factor in Richarlison’s transfer decision if they decide to go all-in for the Everton man.

Speaking with Football Insider, the 47-year-old proclaimed:

“Tottenham are an attractive proposition. When you look at the training ground facilities, look at the new stadium, the players they have already got there at the club, they could be in the Champions League.

“You look at Everton’s season this year. It would be a massive enticement when you’ve had a battle down at the bottom of the Premier League.

“It’s also London, where a lot of these stars want to be, it’s cosmopolitan. You’ve got to look at the geographic bit as well.

“There’s no doubt it’s a step up. If they’re in the Champions League, they’ve got that enticement for a player as well which is usually the key.

“I don’t know how he would fit into the front three of Tottenham right now. He would be sitting on the bench in my opinion. You always need strength in depth. He probably would fit into the style of play at Tottenham, there’s no doubt about it.

“I’m just not sure whether that’s the right move. Look, there’s no doubt he’s got talent,
