What are Tottenham’s and Richarlison’s views on the possibility of him returning to Everton in the January transfer window?

Richarlison is once again being linked with a return to Everton as his spell at Tottenham continues to falter.

With Dominic Solanke still recovering from ankle surgery and deadline-day arrival Randal Kolo Muani also spending significant time out injured, Thomas Frank has had limited options for the central striker role.

As a result, the Spurs boss has persisted with Richarlison, but the Brazilian has failed to make the most of his chances, going eight games without a goal in all competitions.

That has fuelled talk that Tottenham might look to offload the forward in January, and fresh reports have now revealed Richarlison’s stance on a possible Goodison Park comeback.

Richarlison keen on Everton reunion

Reports last week suggested Everton are weighing up the idea of re-signing Richarlison, three-and-a-half years after selling him to Spurs for £60m.

According to a new update from TEAMtalk, the striker would be more than happy to return to Merseyside, as he still feels a strong connection with Everton fans and would welcome the chance to go back if the deal is possible.

However, Everton have not yet made a final decision and are closely monitoring the situation before making a move.

What will determine Tottenham’s decision?

TEAMtalk add that Everton’s interest hinges on the type of deal Spurs are willing to discuss.

From Tottenham’s side, the club are not expected to even consider letting Richarlison go unless they manage to secure a new striker first.

The North London side are already looking at options for a fresh number nine, and only if they bring in a replacement would they think about selling the Brazilian.
