Tottenham have signed a deal to sign Richarlison from Everton for £ 50m and supplements and will announce the signing whenever the striker undergoes a medical in Brazil.
An agreement was reached on personal terms on Wednesday and the clubs have resolved outstanding issues related to the structure of the deal, authorizing Richarlison to take the step he wanted to a Champions League club.
Tottenham had offered players like Harry Winks and Steven Bergwijn in partial exchange, but Everton only wanted a cash transfer. The first part of the paperwork has been signed and Richarlison is about to leave Everton four years after being bought at Watford.

The Brazilian international has scored 53 goals in 152 games for Everton and Barcelona defender Clément Lenglet should soon join the Spurs. The clubs are in advanced talks about a one-season loan for the French central midfielder, with a meeting scheduled for Thursday to discuss issues such as his salary. Lenglet, who started seven league games last season, is interested in the transfer.
Tottenham have made three signings this summer, incorporating Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and secondary goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
An agreement for Richarlison before July 1 would help Everton try to meet Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. The club have reported losses of £ 372.6 million over the last three years, raising questions from Leeds and Burnley about any possible breaches of league rules, and could include the fee in this year’s accounts. .
