Word stemming from the media on Monday points towards Tottenham Hotspur preparing to offer up the services of two members of the club’s ranks as part of a cash-plus-player deal for Everton star Richarlison.
The name of versatile wide-man Richarlison has, of course, taken its place front and centre in the headlines over the last 48 hours.
This comes with the 25-year-old widely reported to have been added to the wishlist of Antonio Conte’s Tottenham, amid the efforts of Daniel Levy and co. to add ever further to an already potent frontline in north London.
Some outlets, in fact, went as far as to suggest that the Lilywhites’ pursuit was very much underway on Saturday, amid claims of a big-money deal between the clubs being close to completion.

Such reports have since been widely rebuffed, albeit with the common consensus remaining that Spurs do intend to mount a concerted push for Richarlison’s services over the coming weeks.
And, on Monday evening, a fresh insight into such endeavours has been forthcoming in the media.
The info comes courtesy of the reliable Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, who points towards a potential cash-plus-player (or two) proposal being readied on the part of the transfer team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The members of Conte’s squad set to be offered up to Everton as part of a deal? Harry Winks and Lucas Moura.
Both players were of course forced ever further down the pecking order at Spurs owing to the club’s January raid for Juventus pair Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski.
And now, it appears as though Winks and Lucas alike have been deemed surplus to requirements once and for all.
It remains to be seen, however, whether Everton will actually be interested in landing either player.
