Chelsea’s aggressive moves for Raheem Sterling and Raphinha have meant that their other targets have been put on the back burner a bit, including the interest in strikers.
We’ve heard a decent bit about their interest in Richarlison earlier this summer, but that’s now diminished a little as our other targets have come to the fore.
David Ornstein has claimed the striker is “on track” to join Tottenham this summer, but adds that a team had “late interest” in the Brazil international.

CaughtOffside, who have been on top of a lot of these exclusives this summer, claim that team is Chelsea.
We can totally see the appeal of signing a hard working, aggressive striker like Richarlison to play up front in this Thomas Tuchel team, and maybe now Romelu Lukaku’s move is complete we can try and move ahead of Spurs in the race.
But for now, it looks like he’s heading to White Hart Lane.
