Noted football journalist Fabrizio Romano says that the player's agents have agreed on a long-term contract with Spurs. There would be a meeting held between both clubs to discuss the details of this deal.

According to a report in Sky Sports, sources close to the deal have said that both clubs are on the verge of agreeing on a deal for the player's transfer. Spurs were reported to be facing competition from Chelsea for acquiring the Brazilian's signature. The Blues need a lot of reinforcements in their attack ahead of the new season, especially after Romelu Lukaku left to rejoin Inter Milan on a loan. 

Playing the Champions League would certainly be an attraction that Richarlison might have which could lure him to Spurs. Conte's side have already made three signings this summer, the likes of which Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster. Their quick movements in the transfer market prove that the Italian is putting together a strong force to challenge both domestic and European titles.
