Tottenham Hotspur are discussing the possibility of a double swoop on the Everton duo Richarlison and Anthony Gordon this summer.
This is according to the reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano who has been talking about Fabio Paratici’s transfer plans on the Que Golazo YouTube channel.
It has been claimed Spurs are showing a lot of interest in the possibility of landing the Brazilian this summer with Everton looking for an exceptional fee to see him depart.
However, Romano now understands the 21-year-old, Gordon, is also of interest to Spurs this summer and the north London club would like to discuss a possible double deal for the duo from Goodison Park:
“Anthony Gordon, I’m not sure it will be so easy but for sure it’s part of the conversations that Tottenham and Everton are having. Let me clarify that the two clubs have a fantastic relationship. After the Dele Alli deal, they have a very good relationship between the two boards. So this is why they’re speaking on many potential things.”
TIF Thoughts on Romano’s comments…
This would certainly be an interesting move to see Gordon arrive in north London and it would make us question where the future of Lucas Moura would lie.
Would you like to see Anthony Gordon sign this summer?
Yes
No
Gordon made 35 appearances for the Toffees in what was a difficult campaign at Goodison Park and he was able to provide four goals and two assists in the league (via Transfermarkt).
It appears Steven Bergwijn is set to become an Ajax player this summer but the addition of another winger could put Moura down the pecking order even more.
Reports have also suggested Moura could be an option for Everton this summer with Spurs potentially looking to use him in a deal for Richarlison and we just wonder whether this could become a reality if Gordon is a serious target?
