The Blue Room’s Warren Doyle has said he would not like to see Richarlison return to Everton this summer.
The Brazil striker left the Toffees in 2022 for Tottenham, but has been rumoured to be on the radar of his former club for the upcoming transfer window.
Richarlison has made just 12 league appearances for Spurs this season, scoring four goals.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Doyle said: “If you’d have asked me four months ago, I’d have bitten your hand off to have him back. I think he was obviously much loved by Evertonians and he’s the type of player we miss now.
“Where I’m against it is Everton have been accused of being a club that doesn’t look forward enough and re-signs ex-players and old managers. He’s gone through a lot – he had that spell where he played for Brazil in the Olympics and then the World Cup.
“He played through the pain barrier with Everton because he was determined to get us out the relegation battle. I think that’s had a detrimental effect on his career now. He’s been very stop-start at Spurs and I don’t think they’ve managed him well.
“It’s a situation where I’d like to see Everton not go back. We’d like to see signings that don’t come with the baggage Richarlison has, and I say that with the upmost respect because I love him.”
