Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison is a reported target of former club Everton, with his exit one of several changes touted in the summer.
Spurs were beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, a game in which they were thoroughly outplayed despite boasting home advantage.
The defeat was the club’s 20th of the league season, and the result means they end matchweek 36 in 17th place with just 38 points.
Tottenham will have the chance to somewhat salvage their season considering they play against Manchester United in the Europa League final on May 21, and victory on the day will see the club qualify for the Champions League.
However, several changes to the team are likely to take place in the summer given their poor domestic showings, with Sky Sports News claiming that striker Richarlison could be one figure on his way out amid interest from his former side Everton.

What other changes could take place?
Boss Ange Postecoglou has been criticised for refusing to make adaptations to his attacking style of play, with pundits like Jamie Carragher arguing that his offensive approach has left the team exposed at the back.
While Tottenham have scored 63 goals in the Premier League this season – a tally only bettered by four sides – they rank as the division’s joint fifth worst defensive side having conceded on 59 occasions.
The Australian head coach looks likely to be a casualty of the 2024-25 campaign, especially as Spurs have been linked with Roberto De Zerbi, but a number of players could follow him through the exit door.
Captain Son Heung-min will be 33 in July and he has struggled to find form this term, scoring just seven times in 28 Premier League appearances.
There are question marks regarding the futures of defender Cristian Romero, who is a reported target of Atletico Madrid, while midfielder Yves Bissouma has had his place in the squad scrutinised.
Even if Spurs win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League, it is impossible to overlook their form in the Premier League, and it would not be surprising if numerous changes were made throughout the club in order to avoid a repeat of arguably their worst ever top-flight season.
