Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly
interested in signing three players from Everton should
the Toffees get relegated from the Premier League.
The Telegraph report that defender Ben
Godfrey and forwards Richarlison and Anthony Gordon are the names Antonio Conte’s side will look to buy in the
summer.
Everton are just a point clear of the drop with just four
matches remaining, although they do have a game in hand over relegation rivals
Burnley and Leeds.
But even if Frank Lampard’s side do survive, they may well
be forced to sell several players in order to offset their huge losses that
have built up after six years of excessive spending.
Spurs are set to have a busy summer, with Conte looking to
conduct a small overhaul of his squad ahead of what should be his first full
season in charge of the north London side.
Richarlison is arguably Everton’s best player, having scored
51 goals in 149 games for the club since 2018, and the Brazilian has previously
attracted interest from top clubs such as PSG.
After impressing in a poor Norwich side, centre-back Godfrey
has done well at Goodison Park since his move there in 2020 and has been
likened to current Spurs player Eric Dier thanks to his versality, with the
England international also able to play in midfield and both full-back
positions.
Gordon, 21, has enjoyed a breakthrough season at his boyhood
club and, like Godfrey, he will be especially appealing to the Lilywhites who
need to increase their number of homegrown players.
It is unknown how much money Everton will want for each
player, and it is more than likely that Spurs will be forced to offload some of
their own stars to afford signing any new ones.
There are several players who have struggled for minutes
since Conte’s arrival that are likely to be put up for sale, including
midfielder Harry Winks and forwards Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn, the latter
of whom has previously shared his frustration at a lack of game time.
