Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the £60million signing of Everton forward Richarlison, with the Brazilian agreeing a five-year contract.
The 25-year-old becomes Antonio Conte‘s fourth summer signing after already landing the likes of Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma, as Spurs continue to rebuild their squad ahead of a return to the Champions League.
Spurs are expected to commit to an initial package in the region of £50million, with a further £10m in add-ons bringing the total outlay to around £60m.

In a statement, Spurs said: ‘We are delighted to announce the signing of Richarlison from Everton, subject to a work permit.
‘The Brazilian international has signed a contract with us until 2027.
‘Welcome @Richarlison97!’
Kane and Son already provide plenty of goals for Spurs, but now they have legitimate secondary scoring arriving at the club, which could help out with the extra games of the Champions League once again this campaign.
Conte’s side have had to beat off competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea to capture his signature, after both sides also expressed an interest in the Brazilian international.
Richarlison is expected to be a good option for the Italian across the front line, with him being able to play on either flank, and even fill in down the middle for England star Harry Kane.
