Tottenham is said to be in the midst of competing with Everton to secure
he services of Stade Reims star Amir Richardson. Graeme Bailey’s report on HITC indicates that Tottenham is in the running to sign Richardson, aiming to strengthen their midfield. The French club Everton has been eager to bring in the Moroccan international for quite some time.
Richardson made the move from Le Havre AC to Stade Reims in the summer of 2022, starting with a temporary loan. However, the deal was made permanent the next summer. The 22-year-old midfielder had a standout season previously, playing in 28 first-team games and scoring four goals.
Amir Richardson, who has three years remaining on his deal, is attracting interest from several major European teams. With just a few weeks remaining in the transfer period, it’s possible he could be joining a new club.
Everton and Tottenham are among the teams vying for Richardson’s services, as he has the qualities that Sean Dyche is in search of. He is capable of playing both defensively and offensively, depending on the situation. His size and strength make him a formidable opponent.
The Toffees believe Richardson might be the perfect fit to take over from Amadou Onana, who has signed with Aston Villa for a fee of £50 million. While Everton is eager to secure his talent, so is Tottenham, who is also in the running for his services. The London club is prepared to
compete with the Liverpool team.
Tottenham’s main goal is to secure a top-tier striker to guide their offensive line in the upcoming season, but they are also on the lookout for a new midfielder after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg leaves the team. There’s space in Ange Postecoglou’s squad for someone with Richardson’s skills, who can play in various positions but is primarily recognized for his role as a defensive midfielder.
The report indicates that the 22-year-old might be up for a deal as low as £8.5 million. However, considering the interest from numerous clubs after his standout performances for Morocco at the Olympics, a bidding contest could drive up the final price significantly.
