According to the Evening Standard, Tottenham are keen to land Watford forward Richarlison and are happy to offload two midfield players in order to fund the deal.
What’s the Story?
Reports are stating that Mauricio Pochettino is very interested in signing Richarlison, who joined Watford in a £13million deal this summer.
The Brazilian, who is valued at £6.3million by Transfermarkt, has impressed in his debut season in the Premier League since joining the Hornets from Fluminense.

In order to fund such a deal, Spurs are reportedly happy to use Josh Onomah and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou as a makeweight in any offer.
How good has Richarlison been this season?
Considering that he is just 20-years-old, Richarlison has had a mightily impressive start to his career in England.
The forward has notched four goals and provided two assist in 11 games and continues to look like Watford’s most exciting player.
Is Richarlison worth losing two players for?
While Josh Onomah has impressed during his loan spell with Aston Villa this season, the young midfielder doesn’t appear to have enough to break into the Spurs first team.
Similarly Georges-Kevin N’Koudou has been one of Mauricio Pochettino’s most disappointing signings and has failed to produce any of the form that earned him a move to North London in the first place.
Therefore, it could be a very astute move to use the two aforementioned fringe players as part of a deal to sign Richarlison, especially as the Brazilian is showing incredible potential at such a young age.
