The Guardian have revealed that Chelsea have not yet called off their pursuit of Tottenham target Richarlison despite being close to snapping up Raphinha from Leeds.
Tottenham are now reportedly the favourites to win the race for Richarlison, with UOL Esporte journalist Bruno Andrade claiming on Tuesday that talks between Spurs and Everton regarding a £60m deal for the Brazilian are moving in the right direction.
However, it was reported earlier this week that Spurs could face competition from Chelsea for the Everton striker (Sky Sports News).
Alfredo Pedulla reported yesterday that while Antonio Conte’s men were leading the race for Richarlison, they could be set for a big battle with Thomas Tuchel’s side for the forward over the coming days.
The Guardian have now revealed that Chelsea are close to wrapping up a £55m deal with Leeds to buy Raphinha.
The report states that despite being on the verge of signing the Leeds star and being in talks with Manchester City over Raheem Sterling, the Blues are also contemplating a move for Richarlison.
However, it is explained that Chelsea have not yet made an official approach for Richarlison and that Spurs are currently the front-runners to sign the former Watford man.
