Former Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly believes Richarlison would be a great addition to Antonio Conte's squad.

The Brazil forward has been linked with a move away from Everton, with Spurs and Chelsea both reportedly interested.

Kelly told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily: "He can play as a back-up striker but he can also play in wide positions as well which makes a difference.

"I know Son is going to start every game, but with Champions League football, if you bring in someone like Richarlison he can play left of the three, he can play right of the three because he is energetic, he is determined. Then he can play down the middle in the place of Harry Kane if you are changing it up.

"I think he fits into the system quite well and I think it’s evident Conte is after him because of his work rate. You look at how hard he works, he is up and down, he’s tenacious as well. He’s got a bit of bite about him and that seems to be what Conte wants in his players, even in his attacking players he wants them to be feisty so he seems like someone that would fit into that quite well.

"He would definitely be a good acquisition to add into the numbers because so far they have done well in the market and another player like that just strengthens it. If he comes off the bench he’s a threat, if he starts he’s a threat, so he is definitely a player that will improve things at Spurs."

To celebrate the Premier League's 30th anniversary, we asked you for your favourite Tottenham kit from this era.

Here are some of your standout shirts:

Paul: My favourite Spurs shirt of the Premier League era? Definitely the 1991-94 yellow shirt with the pop art checkerboard on the right shoulder. A masterpiece from Umbro!

Clive: My favourite Spurs home shirt is from 2018-19 season, because it took us to our club's first Champions League final and I was able to go with my son!

Benji: The early 90s blue third shirt, for me. From memory we kept it for three or four years. Lovely Umbro design with Spurs text faintly visible across the shoulders and thin pinstripes running down the front. Surprised there hasn't been a modern take on it. Cracking stuff.

Andrew: I am a lifelong supporter of this fabulous club and my favourite shirt, I believe, is our current one.

Tottenham's Harry Winks will have a "point to prove" if Everton's interest in the midfielder results in a move to Goodison Park, according to BBC Radio London's Nick Godwin.

The 26-year-old England international was integral to Spurs' team under former manager Mauricio Pochettino, but has fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho and now Antonio Conte. He made 28 appearances in 2021-22, scoring just one goal and registering two assists.

"Under Pochettino, he was that clever little player in midfield, who had quick accurate passing and would be able to cover the ground quickly - alongside linking the defence to the attack quickly," Godwin told Merseyside Sport on BBC Radio Merseyside.

"He certainly will have a point to prove [if he joins Everton], as he just hasn't had any football. I think the last time he started for Spurs was the nadir of Conte's reign, which was a miserable display at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.

"Everton will be getting a hungry player and quite a specific player in midfield, if that is what Frank Lampard wants, and someone who is very keen to make a point.

"Three years ago at Spurs, under Pochettino, it looked like the world was Winks' oyster."

Ben Davies has praised his defensive colleagues after a fine end to the season helped them qualify for the Champions League.

Davies formed part of a resilient back three with Cristian Romero and Eric Dier as Spurs won eight of their final 11 league games.

He singled out Romero for the Argentina international's excellent debut season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

"He's been very good for us since he arrived," Davies told Spurs' official website, external.

"He's good on the ball, strong at tackling and I think as a unit with all of our defenders we really clicked in the final part of the season.

"We had a couple of late goals that were very disappointing - Brighton, Leicester - and if not for them, our record might look even better.

"We've all adapted throughout the season and done really well together."

We asked you how happy are you with the arrival of Yves Bissouma from Brighton and who else should be on Antonio Conte's radar this transfer window.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Stephen: I’ve wanted Bissouma for a couple of seasons. His energy and positional play is outstanding and he should give us further combative energy in the second phase.

Michael: I think Bissouma is a brilliant signing. He may not be the most crucial position we need, but his passing and tackling are world class. He will definitely improve the squad. Didn’t he also complete the most tackles in the Premier League last year? What a signing.

Sam: Great signing - bargain at £25m. Better stats than Hojbjerg and should start with Bentancur in the middle. Looking forward to seeing who else comes in - be nice to steal Jesus from Arsenal! Exciting times. COYS!

James: Looks an excellent signing. He can tackle, pass, run with the ball and score the odd goal - the sort of player we've been missing. Should bring another dimension to approach play.

Paul: Antonio Conte is the best manager for Spurs, long may he stay. His style of play and formation seems to get the best out of everyone. He would only want people who are passionate about playing for Spurs, not just along for the ride! The players he has brought in are fighters and want to win. Spurs have lacked this for 30 years.

He played a starring role as Brighton achieved their best-ever finish in the top flight last season - and now he belongs to Tottenham.
