Tottenham was willing to pay much more than Arsenal for Richarlison.
Tottenham Hotspur were willing to spend much more than Arsenal for Richarlison during the summer transfer window of 2022. Spurs could wind up paying Everton £60 million in the deal to land the Brazilian.
Richarlison has had an eventful experience since moving to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In 46 outings for the club in all competitions, he has only scored five goals. Last season, he struggled to put any serious pressure on Harry Kane.
Richarlison appeared to be looking for an opportunity after Kane’s departure this summer. However, he has only scored once this season in the Premier League. Tottenham fans may be wondering if Richarlison would ever make an impact in North London. And clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea may believe they got a lucky escape.
Tottenham was willing to spend much more than either club to recruit Richarlison for an initial £52.5 million in 2022. The Spurs’ desire to sign a Brazilian player was understandable.
You can see why the Spurs paid the money. Richarlison’s ten goals helped Everton stay in the Premier League in his final season at Goodison Park.
