Tottenham and Everton are in advanced talks over a potential swap involving Iliman Ndiaye and Richarlison, with multiple outlets reporting that the clubs have reached an agreement in principle. The negotiations involve separate but connected moves: Ndiaye is set to join Tottenham, while Richarlison is expected to return to Everton.
The Athletic and Yahoo Sports describe the development as a breakthrough that brings both clubs closer to formalizing fees and completing transfers. Sky Sports and another report from Sports News frame the situation as “advanced talks” over the two players. Yahoo Sports and Soccer News both attribute aspects of the reported progress to David Ornstein, including that the clubs have agreed verbal terms and are working toward finalized paperwork.
One additional layer of context mentioned by The Athletic is interest in related targets and rival pursuits in the wider transfer market. It notes that Man City are also discussing a move for Tottenham target Cody Gakpo, while Ndiaye remains the subject of the Tottenham–Everton discussions.
