Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Everton winger Richarlison this summer. However, they face competition from his signature in the shape of London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.

According to the Daily Mail the 25-year-old is a target for all three of the clubs and was also considered by Paris Saint-Germain before Kylian Mbappe signed a new three year deal.
