Tottenham seem to be on track to achieve this as they’ve already had a ‘verbal agreement’ with the Brazil international for a five-year contract since the start of this week.
With regards to an agreement with Everton, Andrade explains Spurs could conclude the deal with Frank Lampard’s side for a fee of around £60m.
Richarlison played a key role in helping the Merseyside club avoid relegation from the top flight last season, managing 10 goals and five assists from 30 league matches.
This week on Twitter he’s favourited a couple of posts from Everton fans wishing him well and regretting his impending departure.
