According to a former Tottenham official, a senior Spurs man may consider calling time on his time in North London after an approach by another Premier League club.
There were major hopes regarding a revival for one experienced Spurs star after he made an excellent start to the season, but his form has tailed off completely over the last month and a half.
The player we are referring to is Richarlison, who has now gone eight games in all competitions without finding the back of the net.
Some reports have claimed that Tottenham are willing to accept a cut-price fee for Richarlison in January, with the 28-year-old thought to be attracting plenty of interest.
Richarlison would be in favour of swapping Tottenham for Everton
Last week, it emerged that Everton are considering a January move for Richarlison, with the Toffees keen to add firepower to their forward line.
Former Tottenham scout Mick Brown has now revealed that the Spurs man is rated very highly by the Merseyside club and suggested that a return to Everton could indeed be something that the 28-year-old is in favour of.
Brown told Football Insider: “I’m told Richarlison is still very highly thought of at Everton. Personally, he never seems to command a place in the starting XI with any sort of certainty; he’s not consistent enough to be a regular number nine.

“But that’s a decision for the powers that be to decide, and if they look at him and think he would be an improvement on what they’ve got at the moment, they could make a move. Not being quite good enough to start every week for Tottenham doesn’t necessarily come into it, it’s about whether he’s an improvement for Everton.
“They want to sign a new striker, because the current two have not been good enough. Richarlison isn’t the only one they’re looking at, they will have a few options on their radar. In terms of his future at Tottenham, if he’s going to be in and out of the side and not getting consistent starts, he might have a few questions about his place in the team.
“Interest from teams like Everton, who could offer him more regular starts, could tempt him to make a move. If that is the case, he’ll speak to Frank and Tottenham about what his role is in their plans, and if he’s not going to be a regular starter, maybe he could move on. Then, it will just be about the price tag and whether Spurs will let him go.”
Richarlison is also attracting interest from abroad
Everton are not the only club eyeing the Tottenham man, with some outlets claiming that Richarlison is also attracting interest from Crystal Palace.
Additionally, Flamengo are thought to be keen on taking the Spurs star back to Brazil, while it has also been claimed that MLS side Orlando City are now eyeing a move for Richarlison.
