Everton interested in re-signing Richarlison in summer transfer window

Everton is interested in exploring a deal that could see forward Richarlison return to the club from Tottenham, Report informs via Sky Sports.

Manager David Moyes is a long-term admirer of the Brazilian and has prioritized the search for a striker in the upcoming summer window.

However, Tottenham is not aware of Everton's transfer plans and is not making any plans regarding player sales until they conclude their Europa League campaign.

Richarlison has strong emotional ties with Everton, having had four years at Goodison Park, scoring 53 goals in 152 games.

A loan move back to Everton for Richarlison was mooted towards the end of the January window but did not materialize.

Since leaving Everton in a £60 million move to join Spurs three years ago, he has been plagued by injuries and has missed more than 30 matches this season.

That is something likely to cause Everton concern but a loan deal with an obligation to buy, if he plays an agreed number of games, could be an option.

Richarlison is understood to be one of a number of striker options under consideration.
