Everton, Tottenham, and Leicester are all vying for the signature of Reims midfielder Amir Richardson, as reported by Get Football News France.
The French club is asking for just over £10million for the 22-year-old Moroccan international before the 30 August deadline.
Spurs have been keeping a close eye on Richardson during the Olympics, as reported by Foot Mercato, while L’Equipe suggests Everton are also interested in bringing him to Goodison Park.
Richardson’s versatility in midfield would provide depth and flexibility to the Toffees’ squad. His ability to play in multiple positions, including central and defensive midfielder, offers tactical options for Everton to adjust their game plan accordingly.
With his technical skills and vision on the field, Richardson would elevate the midfield quality. His passing range and game-controlling abilities could help Everton dominate possession more effectively under Sean Dyche’s management.
Furthermore, his defensive prowess would bolster the team’s stability in the middle, aiding in protecting the defense.
Given Amadou Onana’s departure, Dyche will be looking for a strong presence in midfield, making Richardson a sensible and cost-effective addition to the squad.
