Tottenham, on Friday, completed the signing of Richarlison from Everton on a five-year deal for a £60 million fee ($73 million).
The latest signing was confirmed via a statement issued by Tottenham on Friday.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Richarlison from Everton, subject to a work permit.
“The Brazil international has signed a contract with us until 2027,” the club stated.
The Brazilian international will add greater depth to the Spurs forward line, although he has a tough task ahead to dislodge either Harry Kane or Son Heung-min from his two favoured positions up front and on the left of the attack.
