Richarlison 'completes Tottenham Hotspur medical'

Everton striker Richarlison has reportedly completed his Tottenham Hotspur medical ahead of a big-money move to North London. The 25-year-old is understood to be closing in on a move to Antonio Conte's side, who have now reached an agreement in principle over a fee for his services. Richarlison is also believed to have agreed personal terms with the Lilywhites, which would bring an end to his spell at Goodison Park four years after arriving from Watford. According to journalist Bruno Andrade, Richarlison has already undergone his medical tests with Tottenham and is now poised to sign a five-year contract in the English capital. A separate report from The Athletic states that Tottenham quickly struck a deal with Everton for the signing of Richarlison, who will cost the North London club an initial £50m. © Reuters The report adds that Tottenham could end up forking out an extra £10m in performance-related add-ons, and the Brazil international is keen to test himself in European competition. However, the two clubs are yet to sort out the final terms of the payment structure, but Everton are under pressure to make a big-money sale within the next 24 hours. Should the Toffees fail to raise funds before Friday, the club are at risk of punishment for failing to meet the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules criteria.
