Conte's former side raise price tag for star defender on Tottenham's radar

Tottenham's meridian target is now Everton forward Richarlison, believes journalist Pete O'Rourke.

The n London club have been linked with a whole host of players in different positions recently, but O'Rourke says the Brazilian is Antonio Conte's priority right at present.

What is the latest transfer news involving Tottenham?

Co-ordinate to 90min, Tottenham want to wrap up the signing of Richarlison, who has been described equally "deadly" past former squad-mate Bernard, before their pre-season starts.

Everton are idea to desire £60m for the 25-year-quondam, but the same outlet states that the Toffees' toll tag has not put Spurs off.

Richarlison is not the only attacker Tottenham have shown an interest in this summer, with Nizaar Kinsella of GOAL recently claiming that the Premier League outfit had been in discussions with Raphinha before the Leeds United star turned them down.

Farther back on the pitch, it is also believed that Spurs take RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol on their radar, though a deal for the Croation defender looks difficult, as his side do not want to sell him in this transfer window.

What has O'Rourke said about Richarlison to Tottenham?

While Tottenham go on to be linked with a bunch of different players right now, O'Rourke thinks Richarlison is the human Conte badly wants.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the announcer said: "It'due south looking like Richarlison is the top target for Conte at Tottenham.

"Obviously, they've been trying to construction the deal with offering Steven Bergwijn, who is of involvement to Everton, as part of the deal plus money. That'due south been turned down, so I'm sure Everton probably would prefer the money up forepart because it would requite them transfer funds of their own to go and strengthen their squad this summer."

Volition Richarlison terminate up at Tottenham?

Right at present, Tottenham do await best placed to state Richarlison. London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal were also thought to be keen on the Brazil international, though their involvement has never seemed as strong every bit Spurs'.

Chelsea have been prioritising deals for Raheem Sterling and Raphinha, while the latter is someone Arsenal want likewise.

The higher up has resulted in Tottenham practically getting a free run at Richarlison, though it would not be a stupor to see the loser of the Raphinha race turn their attending back to the former Watford man.

Because that, Spurs should try to wrap this deal up apace, with Conte clearly eager to see Richarlison get in at Hotspur Way.
