According to TEAMtalk, former Everton player Richarlison is "increasingly likely" to leave Tottenham, but the prerequisite for his departure is that Tottenham can sign a new striker in January.
Richarlison is willing to return to his former club Everton, but Everton has not yet decided whether to sign him, although they are closely monitoring the situation.
Everton started the season strongly, but their momentum has waned after David Moyes' team suffered consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Tottenham, and they currently sit 14th in the Premier League table.
Everton is currently facing the problem of a shortage of efficient strikers. Beto and Barry, who joined this summer, have only scored one goal and zero goals respectively so far this season.
Moyes will receive full support from Everton's owner, the Friedkin Group, during the January transfer window, and the club is considering signing a new striker.
From a financial perspective, the most reasonable approach for Everton would be to first lease back Richarlison and include a buyout option in the agreement. As for whether Tottenham will accept this structure or insist on only a permanent sale, it remains to be seen.
The Brazilian forward himself is interested in returning to Everton Football Club, but for the deal to be finalized in January, multiple conditions need to be met.
Everton has a history of bringing back former players. For example, Moyes re-signed Pienaar from Tottenham in 2012, and the latter performed excellently during his second spell at Everton after returning.
In the 7th round of the Premier League, in the away game of Tottenham against Leeds United, Richarlison came on as a substitute in the second half, making his 250th appearance in the Premier League career and becoming the fifth Brazilian player to achieve this milestone.
Richarlison has played 152 games for Everton, scoring 53 goals and providing 15 assists; he has also played 105 games for Tottenham, scoring 23 goals and contributing 12 assists.
