Brazilian forward Richarlison joins Tottenham Hotspur

LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Brazilian international Richarlison from Everton, the Premier League club said in a statement on Friday.

The 25-year-old Richarlison completed a medical test in Brazil on Thursday ahead of the announcement of the deal, and he will join with the team for pre-season in the coming days, the club said.

Everton too confirmed the departure of the Brazilian from the club.

"The 25-year-old forward departed the Blues after four years at Goodison Park, making 152 appearances and scoring 53 goals. Everyone at Everton would like to thank Richarlison for his service and commitment during his time with the club," Everton said.

Richarlison joined Everton from Watford in July 2018 and, during his time with the Club, made his senior Brazil debut, going on to earn 36 caps for the five-time world champions.

Richarlison has made 173 Premier League appearances to date, scoring 48 goals, during spells at Watford and Everton since making the switch from Fluminense in August, 2017. IANS
