Richarlison, an Arsenal target, is supposedly on his way to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal's fierce north London rivals, this summer.
The Everton striker has been in excellent form this season, contributing significantly to the Toffees' Premier League survival.
Richarlison, 26, made 33 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and assisting on five occasions. He seemed to be on his way to north London's white side.
Spurs and Everton are reportedly in talks for the Brazilian, who is eager to play Champions League football, according to UOL (via HITC).
Personal terms between Richarlison and Tottenham are anticipated to be discussed as part of the negotiations.
Richarlison's current contract with Everton expires in two years. Arsenal had previously expressed interest in the former Watford midfielder.
Mikel Arteta spoke with the Brazilian, according to Goal, to discuss the Brazilian's lack of attacking options.
Alexandre Lacazette has left Arsenal after five years at the Emirates Stadium, where he made 206 appearances, scored 71 goals, and provided 36 assists. Last season, the Frenchman had a disappointing campaign, scoring only six goals in 36 appearances.
As a result, Arsenal were in the running for Richarlison, but their north London rivals Tottenham appear to have beaten them to it.
Arsenal is in a strong position to outbid Tottenham Hotspur for another Brazilian striker.
Arsenal may have missed out on Richarlison, but they are the frontrunners to sign Gabriel Jesus, a Brazilian striker from Manchester City. Following the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, the 25-year-old is eager to leave the Etihad Stadium.
The Gunners have already completed a deal for Jesus with Premier League winners Manchester City, according to TodoFichajes (via SportsMole).
Mikel Arteta is willing to reconnect with his former City striker for a sum of £42 million, according to reports.
From 2016 to 2019, Arteta was a member of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff, where he oversaw the Brazilian's growth.
Tottenham Hotspur had expressed interest in the City striker, according to The Times, with Antonio Conte's side being offered his services.
However, with a deal for Richarlison reportedly in the works, any prospective Spurs move for Jesus should be put on hold.
The Manchester City star's current contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in a year. Last season, he scored 13 goals and added 12 assists in 41 appearances.
