Richarlison set to rejoin Everton for £35m as Tottenham agree £60m deal to sign Iliman Ndiaye

Tottenham and Everton have struck a deal in principle for Richarlison to return to Goodison Park for £35m, while Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye heads the other way to Spurs for £60m. Both transfers still need personal terms to be agreed and medicals passed before Tuesday's deadline. Roberto De Zerbi publicly confirmed the Brazilian's departure was imminent, saying Richarlison had told him 'too many times he wants to leave.' The two deals are reported to be independent of each other, though both are expected to complete without significant complications.

Richarlison posted a cryptic thinking emoji on Instagram hours after the deal was agreed, leaving fans baffled.

Everton supporters are furious at the fees — paying £35m for a 29-year-old in his contract year who was dropped from Spurs' squad, while selling Ndiaye for £60m.

Ndiaye, who joined Everton from Marseille for just £15m in 2024, had rejected multiple new contract offers before forcing a move.
