Tottenham have completed the signing of Richarlison from Everton.
Spurs have announced the Brazilian's arrival, with the deal believed to be worth a total of £60million - an initial £50m with £10m in add-ons.
Richarlison helped keep Everton in the Premier League last season
Richarlison had joined the Toffees from Watford in 2018 for £35m, and went on to scored 53 goals in 153 games.
Spurs have been busy in the transfer market so far this summer with the signings of Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster.
There was potentially a late complication to the deal, though, as Chelsea made an attempt to hijack the move, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
That move was made before a full agreement had been reached, but Spurs were able to agree their £60m total package and complete the signing.
They are also aiming to complete the signings of Barcelona centre-back Clement Lenglet on loan and Middlesborough's Djed Spence imminently.
Conte is being backed in the transfer market this summer
Manager Antonio Conte has been backed in the transfer market by Daniel Levy and former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan believes it is a good deal all round.
He told talkSPORT: "Giving him the opportunity to build a squad. He has a formidable front line of five players like Liverpool and other teams have.
"It is required when you have someone like Conte in the building. It's a reasonable transaction. It's certainly a reasonable transaction for Everton.
"They've [Tottenham] got Champions League, so there's some extra revenue. It's all round decent business and I think Conte will make him a better player."
