Tottenham ‘swap deal’ mooted in latest Richarlison transfer twist
Richarlison looks likely to end his stay at Tottenham this summer, though he could be used as leverage to sign another player.
Tottenham will have one eye on the summer transfer window, though their main focus for now will be on achieving success via the Europa League.
Not only is it their only chance of a trophy, but it is the only way they can secure European football for the new campaign, which could, in turn, play a decisive role in their recruitment plans.
Tottenham have a huge summer ahead, and they may be looking to pursue a deal for a new striker, with Richarlison going the other way.
Everton could re-sign Richarlison this summer
It would be a surprise to see Richarlison stay at Tottenham this season, and with Everton previously showing an interest in re-signing him, it has opened the door for a potential swap deal, though it wouldn’t actually be structured like that.
The deal in question concerns Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who, according to TBR, Tottenham could consider a move for once his contract expires at Everton this summer.
| Everton | Games | Goals | Assists |
| Calvert-Lewin | 22 | 3 | 1 |
The 28-year-old Englishman isn’t short of potential suitors, though his injury record could put off some clubs depending on his wage demands.
At his best, Calvert-Lewin has showcased his ability to score goals, something which has been lacking at Tottenham this season, though he has not been at his best for a while now, leaving Spurs with a decision to make.
Tottenham must sign a striker this summer
Whether Calvert-Lewin has the attributes or not, it remains clear that a striker must be a priority for Tottenham in the window.
Dominic Solanke has failed to impress, and Spurs have been left wondering where their goals will come from on far too many occasions.
Tottenham need to recruit well in the summer if they are to avoid a repeat of this season’s nightmare, not only on the player front, but also on the manager front.
