Everton striker Richarlison returned to training earlier today, and will be very important to Marco Silva’s side this season.
Everton raised eye brows when they paid £50 million to buy Richarlison from Watford last year (BBC Sport), but he has quickly gone on to prove his value.
Richarlison was in brilliant form at Goodison Park, and may well be the most important player in Everton’s squad next season.
With the Toffees struggling for goals, Richarlison looks their most potent scorer in attack.
And his return to Everton training today can only be seen as good news for the side.
“I was with him for six months [at Watford] and for me that was enough to know his quality,” Silva said.
“It was really easy to convince him to work with us again and to join Everton.”
Richarlison returns to Everton on the back of an excellent Copa America, where he thrived for Brazil.
The youngster’s reputation has increased hugely following his exploits for his country, with the pressure now on for him to become one of the leading stars in the Premier League.
Everton begin their Premier League campaign in two weekends’ time, when they take on Crystal Palace.
