Everton star – Richarlison has officially been signed by Antonio Conte side – Tottenham as he signed a contract with the North London side until 2027.
The Brazilian attacker will cost the north London club an initial £50 million, with an additional £10 million in add-ons.
The Brazilian had drawn interest from both Arsenal and Chelsea, but Spurs moved quickly to finalize a deal for the 25-year-old.
Richarlison was the major topic of conversation at a dinner that Bill Kenwright and Daniel Levy, the chairs of Everton and Tottenham, respectively, were seen enjoying.
In 152 games since his transfer from Watford to the Merseyside club in 2018, he has 53 goals.
He helped the Toffees stay in the Premier League by scoring 10 goals in the league last season.

Richarlison made his senior debut for Brazil as a substitute in the second half of their 2-0 victory over the United States in September 2018. Since then, he has made 36 appearances and scored 14 goals.
This summer, Tottenham moved quickly to bring in new players for manager Antonio Conte, who has the support of chairman Levy.
