Brazilian striker Richarlison joined Tottenham from Everton in the summer: Chelsea and Arsenal were also interested
Brazil striker Richarlison joined from Everton in the summer for a whopping €58m. Spurs have won a transfer poker game that apparently also included two city rivals. The offensive player revealed this in an interview with default sports.
Richarlison has been playing with a European club for the first time since the summer, with which he can also play for titles. The Spurs decided to strengthen the already well-occupied offensive line with Kane and Son with another player. The choice fell on Richarlison, who cost 58 million euros.
Tottenham outperform Chelsea and Arsenal
The ingenious technician and executor almost ended up with the city rival. The 25-year-old explained in an interview with default sportsthat there was an offer from the Blues. He also believes “that Everton contacted them to be clear about the current situation”. Ultimately, however, the transfer poker ended with Tottenham Hotspur putting the required sum on the table and Richarlison agreeing to the move. “It’s as simple as that,” commented the Brazilian.
Ultimately, everyone involved should have left the transfer period satisfied anyway. Arsenal FC have won Gabriel Jesus from while the Blues landed Sterling and Aubameyang.
In terms of sport, things are already going well for Richarlison at his new club. So far, the striker has scored two goals in the Champions League and two assists in the Premier League. However, he is not yet one of the absolute regulars.
