Jamie Redknapp has suggested to Sky Sports that he believes Everton attacker Richarlison can get 20 goals this season.

Richarlison has made a bright start at Goodison Park, scoring four times in the early part of the campaign.

The Brazilian has been used as Everton’s main striker in recent weeks.

And Redknapp believes that Richarlison can reach 20 goals for the campaign if he keeps being given opportunities.

He said: “I’m a big fan of this kid. He’s got all the ability.

“He’s got good size, he’s super quick. After the start he’s made you’ve got to think he can get to 20 goals. There’s no reason why he couldn’t.”

Richarlison helped Everton pick up a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace yesterday, although he didn’t get on the scoresheet.

Everton scored their goals against Palace through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun.
