Everton could capitalise on Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer strategy this summer.

The two clubs have done plenty of business together over the years with Richarlison marking perhaps the most significant.

David Moyes is expected to be backed by the Friedkins in the summer transfer window, with the Toffees in serious need of some new players.

The Everton boss has worked his magic with the players he inherited from the old regime, but this summer promises change on Merseyside.

Richarlison is a player Everton would be keen to sign this summer as they look for a big name to open up Bramley-Moore Dock with.

And the Toffees may have just been handed a boost in their pursuit of the Brazilian forward as Spurs eye a big transfer of their own.

Tottenham hand Everton Richarlison boost

Moyes is a fan of Richarlison and would be in favour of bringing the forward back to Everton over the coming months.

The price will, of course, have to be right for the Toffees considering it is only three years on since Spurs spent £60m on the player.

According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham are now considering selling players like Richarlison as ‘crucial’ to fund a big summer move of their own.

It is believed the Lilywhites are eyeing a swoop for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens.

In order to help fund such a deal, Spurs would be open to the notion of offloading players like Richarlison this summer.

It’s been previously suggested Tottenham would sell Richarlison for £40m as they anticipate a sizeable loss on their initial investment.

The move to north London is not one which has worked out for the Brazilian and a return to Merseyside could help get his career back on track.

Tottenham could also sell Everton target Manor Solomon

Richarlison is not the only player from Tottenham who the Toffees are eyeing ahead of the summer window.

Everton are also keen to sign Manor Solomon following his dazzling season in the Championship with Leeds United.

The 25-year-old winger has enjoyed a stunning season on loan with the Whites where he has returned some impressive numbers.

Everton sacked Sean Dyche at the beginning of the year and it’s certainly paid off.

David Moyes has taken Everton from a relegation battle to 17 points above 18th-placed Ipswich Town.

Moyes’ side are on a nine-game unbeaten run in the Premier League and have picked up the fifth most points in the division since his arrival.

So, it’s fair to say, that the Friedkin Group’s decision to sack Dyche has certainly been vindicated, however, it hasn’t always worked out like that.

Many of Everton’s sacked managers in recent years have gone on to do well elsewhere and now one of them could replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.

According to The Telegraph, former Everton manager Marco Silva is a ‘leading’ candidate to replace the under-fire Ange Postecoglou.

Everton sacked Silva in December 2019 after a run of poor form on Merseyside but since then, he’s proved his worth at Fulham.

The Portuguese head coach has taken the Cottagers from the Championship to become an established top-half Premier League side.

Fulham currently reside in eighth place but are only four points adrift of the top four, so Champions League qualification is a genuine possibility.

Such is why Silva is being seriously considered by Tottenham, who are languishing in 14th.

Doubts over Silva’s future at Craven Cottage

The report further adds that Silva’s future is uncertain at Craven Cottage as some sources suggest they could go their separate ways.

Silva is under contract at the West London club until 2026, so as it stands, they aren’t in a strong position to keep him.

Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola is also believed to be a top target to replace Postecoglou, who appears to have lost the faith of Spurs supporters.

Either way, no final decision has been made on Postecoglou’s future.

David Moyes has shown Sean Dyche exactly how to manage this Everton side since being appointed by the Friedkins.

Everton have been able to put their relegation worries behind them with the club now looking upwards ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Toffees have been able to rack up the points since Moyes took to the dugout at Goodison Park.

Following the draw on the weekend, Everton are eight-games unbeaten in the Premier League, which highlights a staggering turnaround on Merseyside.

This weekend will see Moyes come up against his former club in West Ham United at Goodison.

The 61-year-old has just been hailed for something he did during his time at the London Stadium, and it could potentially be replicated at Everton.

Sam Allardyce hails David Moyes for Marko Arnautovic tweak at West Ham

Since arriving at Everton, Moyes has transformed Jake O’Brien by giving the defender an opportunity in a new position.

That is an apparent trend across Moyes’ time in management, with Sam Allardyce praising the 61-year-old for work at West Ham.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Allardyce and current Everton coach Charlie Adam praised former West Ham player Marko Arnautovic.

“What about Moyesy when he put him up front at West Ham? Revelation,” said Allardyce about the Austrian forward.

“Marko was a maverick, but for me, he should have played at one of the top clubs. I know he plays for Inter Milan, but I think he could have played for one of the big ones in the Premier League.”

Moyes is hoping to see Everton sign a new forward after failing to land any attacking players over the January transfer window.

If Everton are able to bring in a versatile forward, perhaps Moyes could replicate his Arnautovic masterclass on Merseyside.

Moyes could have his next Arnautovic at Everton with Richarlison

Everton are showing an interest in Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison in what would be a sensational summer transfer.

It is a move which many Everton fans would be in favour of after he became a fan favourite during his time at Goodison.

Richarlison is a player who has shown his versatility across the front line during his time both at Everton and Spurs.

Everton are without Iliman Ndiaye through injury; that is on top of the absence of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Having a versatile forward like Richarlison could prove a really interesting option for Moyes this summer, as he could fill in across a number of roles.

The only real issue for Everton is the Brazilian’s own injury record of late.

Former Everton forward Richarlison’s name is gaining a lot of traction ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

It has been almost three years since Everton cashed in on the Brazilian forward as he made the move south.

However, it has been a testing few years in north London for Richarlison, who has not settled in the way he did at Goodison Park.

David Moyes previously criticised Richarlison after the Brazilian showboated against Nottingham Forest.

But there could be an opportunity for the Toffees to welcome the 27-year-old back to Merseyside this summer.

With Richarlison’s Tottenham Hotspur future coming under real speculation, Moyes’ stance on the player has now been shared.

Everton manager David Moyes is a fan on Richarlison

Ahead of the summer, Everton are believed to be interested in a Richarlison reunion, with his future in north London uncertain.

It would certainly be a blockbuster move for the Blues who are set to move into their new stadium over the coming months.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

And according to Alan Myers, Moyes is a fan of the Brazilian, but whether a deal will happen or not is a different matter.

‘Would certainly be interesting, I think Moyes likes him as a player, not sure if it happens tbh,’ said Myers on social media.

It has been suggested Tottenham would be open to selling Richarlison for £40m, having previously bought the forward for £60m.

After almost three years, Everton may have to consider why Spurs would be so willing to offload the 27-year-old for £20m less than what they paid.

Richarlison needs a strong end to the season

It has been another frustrating campaign for Richarlison, with his game time severely hindered by his injuries.

Of course, that is something which Everton would have to consider if they are to consider making a move.

But the Brazilian is in desperate need of a strong end to the season.

Some Everton fans are worried about Richarlison’s injury record, and they would be right to feel that way.

However, if he can make a return and enjoy a solid end to the campaign, it could ease the mind of those on Merseyside.

Everton will be looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer transfer market.

Along with a number of players set to leave Everton at the end of their contracts, the Toffees need to solve their squad depth issues.

David Moyes arrived in January and has some real big decisions to make alongside the Friedkins.

During the game against Brentford on Wednesday, Moyes was frustrated with Everton’s attacking output after some big chances were squandered.

There have certainly been some improvements made at Everton since Moyes’ arrival with goals being scored much more frequently than under Sean Dyche.

However, injuries have riddled the Toffees this season with Iliman Ndiaye out for weeks through his recent issue suffered in the Merseyside Derby.

More options are going to be required in the summer.

Everton target Manor Solomon is open to leaving Tottenham

With the summer transfer window approaching, Everton have shown an interest in Manor Solomon who has been on loan with Leeds United this season.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

The Tottenham Hotspur winger is spending the season on loan in the Championship, where he has really gone on to impress.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Solomon is a player who is expected to make a permanent move away from north London this summer.

“For sure, I think Leeds want to keep the player; they will try but they will need to get promoted,” Romano said on the Market Madness show.

“Manor Solomon is a player from a different level. So, I agree with you, there will be more clubs interested from the Premier League.

“Again, it is not something really, really advanced yet, the player is fully focused on the pitch, from what I’m hearing. So, nothing really concrete but the interest from Leeds is absolutely there in making this deal permanent.

“They will try, they will approach Tottenham closer to the end of the season. There was also interest from Italy before he joined Leeds; there was an Italian club keen to approach Tottenham, but the player preferred to continue in England.”

Moyes wanted to sign a new forward in the January transfer window, but he had to make do with the addition of midfielder Carlos Alcaraz.

Fortunately, Beto has provided the Toffees with some important goals, which has certainly eased any pressure on the Everton chiefs following the window.

Everton may struggle out prise Solomon away from Leeds

Although Tottenham may be open to selling Solomon, he is enjoying a solid spell at Elland Road on loan this season.

The Whites are looking like strong favourites to win the Championship and earn themselves automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

Angus Kinnear may be able to help Everton sign Solomon, but it is apparent he has settled in well at the Yorkshire club.

If Everton are serious about signing Solomon in the summer, they will surely be hoping for something to go dramatically wrong with Leeds’ 2024/25 campaign.

Everton did add to their midfielder over the January transfer window with the arrival of Carlos Alcaraz.

The Friedkins were keen to sign a new midfielder for Everton and they were able to secure the loan signing of the Argentine.

However, his future is not tied down on Merseyside with the Flamengo midfielder still needing to earn himself a permanent stay at Goodison Park.

Ahead of the summer, Everton have some interesting decisions to make.

Everton would like to sign Idrissa Gana Gueye to a new contract, with the 32-year-old’s current deal set to expire at the end of the term.

With plans surely being put in place by Kevin Thelwell ahead of the summer market, there is a potential opportunity opening to sign an interesting Premier League midfielder.

Everton could make a move for Tottenham’s Yves Bissouma

Abdoulaye Doucoure is also out of contract this summer with the Toffees expected to require some additions in the market.

There could be an opportunity set to emerge inside the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur looking to move Yves Bissouma on.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

According to GiveMeSport, the Lilywhites are looking at the Mali midfielder as a potential departure this summer.

The summer will be the final opportunity for Spurs to attract a fee from inside the Premier League for Bissouma who is out of contract next year.

Although the 28-year-old has endured some recent struggles, he is a player who has shone in the Premier League previously.

Clearly, Bissouma is a midfielder better suited to the deeper role, which may suggest he could be a replacement for Orel Mangala.

Mangala is sidelined for the season through injury and there may now be questions as to whether Everton will seek a permanent deal.

Everton will know what they would get from Bissouma, who already has 183 appearances in the Premier League to his name.

Yves Bissouma thinks he’s the Premier League’s best midfielder

Ange Postecoglou has had some off-field issues with the midfielder which cost him any involvement in the opening game of the season.

Typically, one of those two goals did come against Everton earlier in the season.

But Bissouma is a confident player, and he has not shied away in the past from bigging himself up in the media.

“I don’t want to be arrogant, the Premier League has many good midfielders, but, for me, it is me,” Bissouma told BBC Sport back in 2021 when asked who was the best midfielder in the league.

Spurs only paid £25m for Bissouma from Brighton & Hove Albion and with one year remaining on his deal, he could prove a real bargain if Everton were to take a chance on him.

Everton fans will be hoping to see a big summer of transfers following a restricted January window.

The Friedkins were keen to sign two new players in January, but the Toffees were forced to settle for the loan addition of Carlos Alcaraz.

It is an ongoing struggle for Everton with the PSR regulations which restricted their ability to spend over the January window.

Kevin Thelwell expects a bigger summer market at Everton with a lot of their financial concerns being put behind them.

David Moyes has seen his attacking options decimated through injuries.

Iliman Ndiaye is sidelined for weeks through injury, and the Scotsman has already lost three of his four senior strikers to respective injuries.

Ahead of the summer, Everton have just been informed how much it would take to prise away one of their targets from his current club.

Everton informed of Manor Solomon’s asking price

Earlier this week, it was suggested Everton are one of the sides interested in Manor Solomon ahead of the summer transfer window.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

The tricky winger is set to return to Tottenham Hotspur following his season-long loan spell with Leeds United in the Championship.

According to a new report from GiveMeSport, Tottenham will be looking to bring in around £20m for the 25-year-old.

After an impressive season in the second tier with Leeds, Daniel Farke will be keen to keep the winger around at Elland Road.

Moyes was keen for Everton to sign a forward in January, but the 61-year-old did not get his wish with only a midfielder added to his squad.

On the back of the injury issues which Everton have experienced this season, it will be essential for the Friedkins to add some attacking players.

Manor Solomon wants Premier League return

Moyes was shocked by how PSR affected Everton in January with their plans put off until the summer window.

However, they could prove an attractive option for the Spurs winger who is believed to be looking to return to the English top flight.

The issue for Everton will be Leeds United’s expected promotion back to the Premier League.

Former Everton manager Marco Silva hailed Solomon as ‘important’ during his time with the winger at Fulham.

But Everton may have to convince Solomon that their project under TFG is more attractive than what Leeds could offer following their impressive season in the Championship.

Everton continue to be linked with a potential reunion with Richarlison with his Tottenham Hotspur future under scrutiny.

The Brazilian forward’s time in north London has been nothing short of a disaster with the 27-year-old sustaining another injury blow over recent weeks.

David Moyes’ side, on the other hand, are showing a lot of promise with three wins from their last three Premier League games – sitting just a point behind Spurs.

Everton would be keen to re-sign Richarlison, but there is a lot which would need to work in their favour to bring the Brazilian back to Merseyside.

However, there was something which happened back in 2022 which saw Moyes publicly criticise Richarlison.

And that could well suggest whether the 61-year-old would actually be on board with signing the forward for Everton.

Everton manager David Moyes criticised Richarlison in 2022

There are a number of Everton fans who want to see Richarlison return in the summer with his time at Spurs clearly not working out.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

But there is previous between Richarlison and Moyes in the media with the Scotsman not too fond of some of the Brazilian’s antics on the pitch.

Just weeks into his time at Tottenham, Richarlison showboated in their victory over Nottingham Forest by juggling the ball during the game.

Richarlison was wiped out – ironically – by Brennan Johnson and that was something which Moyes did not shy away from slamming the Brazilian over.

“No, I don’t think there is,” Moyes said in a press conference when questioned whether there was room in the game for Richarlison’s showboating.

“I think football in all countries, there’s no room for ball juggling, whether it is in this one or any other ones, or whether it be in non-league or the Premier League.

“If you are talented enough to do that, you need to be strong enough to take the hits.”

After suffering another setback against Liverpool last week, some Everton fans shared their concerns about Richarlison’s injury record.

But those fans may not have to worry with Moyes clearly not the Brazilian’s number one fan.

Richarlison’s 2024/25 Tottenham injury record

Like many of the Tottenham squad, Richarlison is currently sidelined through a fresh injury.

With the Brazilian forward’s time being marred by injuries, Tottenham are ready to sell Richarlison ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

Having paid a whopping £60m to Everton for his services, the Lilywhites could well be prepared to take a significant loss.

It would be a heartwarming reunion for many to bring Richarlison back for the first season at the new stadium.

However, it would certainly be a move which would be made with the heart rather than the head.

Everton fans may see a developing transfer saga between Richarlison and the Toffees as the Brazilian’s sensational return could be firmly on.

Evertonians will be flirting with the prospect of Richarlison making an extraordinary return to the Toffees.

The former Everton player’s future has been up in the air, as Richarlison is open to leaving Tottenham.

This doesn’t necessarily mean a return to Merseyside is in sight, but there was a chance Everton could’ve signed Richarlison on loan in January.

After a January deal never came to an occurrence, maybe a summer move will do.

Everton get green light for sensational Richarlison move

In incredible circumstances, this deal might be happening after all.

Everton fans are still in awe of Richarlison, as describing the return as sensational wouldn’t even cut it.

There is still every chance a move can happen and now GIVEMESPORT have heightened the prospect of the Brazilian in the blue of Everton once again.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

The report states with Spurs moving into a new era, Daniel Levy now has some big decisions to make in attack.

One being Richarlison, as the 27-year-old’s future is ‘in doubt’ and after hearing this, Evertonians will perk their ears up.

Richarlison joining the new Everton stadium would be a match made in heaven

The timing of this deal happening could be immaculate.

Richarlison has been made available for a while, so the Friedkin Group must be considering strengthening their pursuit of the striker.

David Moyes was happy with one January signing but he’ll certainly want more in the summer.

The Everton boss has the fans’ best interest at heart so surely he must be considering the move, and now after being handed the green light, could this really be happening?

When Everton sacked Sean Dyche last month, it was a decision met with a newfound sense of optimism among supporters.

For months, the Goodison faithful had completely lost their faith in Sean Dyche and were growing tired of his pragmatic style of play.

Everton fans urged the Friedkin’s to sack Dyche on a number of occasions, but they wanted to stick with him as long as possible.

However, the situation became untenable and the Toffees were sliding closer and closer to the relegation zone, so in came David Moyes, who has since turned the club’s fortunes on its head.

With that said, it’s pretty astonishing to now hear Tottenham fans all in agreement over Dyche replacing the underfire Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham Hotspur fans want Sean Dyche to replace Ange Postecoglou

Following Sunday night’s 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round, Tottenham fans have been calling for Ange Postecoglou to be replaced by former Everton manager Sean Dyche.

“Get Dyche in until the end of the season,” wise0w1 said.

@thatslux_ posted: “Fine. Sack Ange. Maybe we’ll get Dyche and improve before May.”

@FM_HOTSPUR commented: “We might need Dyche to escape relegation.”

“I’d genuinely rather Sean Dyche than Southgate,” @mackyd78 added.

@danrogers77 said: “He’s finished. The longer he stays the deeper this issue gets. Even Sean Dyche would get a better tune out of these players. People say a lack of Plan B? Does anyone know what plan A is?”

“Dyche and Moyes would organise this team better,” @markTHFC82 posted.

How would Dyche fare at Tottenham?

If Dyche were to join Tottenham, it’d likely be only on a six-month deal until the end of the season.

The former Everton boss would certainly sure up the defence but it’d likely come at the expense of their attack.

Plus, Spurs have a relatively young group at the minute, given their injuries, and Dyche hasn’t exactly got the best record working with younger players.

He would constantly bench Jake O’Brien during his spell on Merseyside and now he’s flourishing under Moyes.

So it’d be a safe but uninspiring appointment, if it ever did happen.
