Tottenham 'definitely like' £50m forward at Hotspur Way

Tottenham are “definitely” interested in signing Everton forward Richarlison, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Antonio Conte is in the process of building a squad capable of challenging on all fronts and his side have been linked with a move for the Brazilian.

According to the Telegraph, Conte has asked ENIC to deliver him six players, and the Spurs hierarchy have already met some of his demands by bringing in Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma.

But the Spurs boss wants two players in every position and desperately wants to add depth to the forward areas.

Tottenham currently have Dejan Kulusevski, Heung Min Son and Harry Kane, but the expected departure of Steven Bergwijn will leave Lucas Moura as the club’s only backup attacking player.

Therefore, the Daily Mail believe that Conte is interested in Richarlison, who has expressed his desire to leave Everton, although the Goodison Park side are demanding around £50m for their talisman.

And while Jones confirmed Tottenham’s interest in the 25-year-old, with Raphinha also on Spurs’ radar, the transfer insider reckons they need to figure out which player is better value for money.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “He’s definitely someone they like, I don’t think they would sign him at all costs, though, I think that’s probably the main thing here.

“Also, you’ve got to consider the price they’re at. Raphinha and Richarlison seem to be in the same price bracket at the moment, and you’ve got to weigh up who’s better value? If you’re paying £60m, who’s better there, Raphinha or Richarlison?”

If Conte does end up having to choose, it’ll be a tough decision to make, but a good position to find himself
