Liverpool legend Phil Thompson seems to rate Everton forward Richarlison highly.
Richarlison is a winger by trade, but the Brazilian has operated as a striker in games for Everton this season.
The 21-year-old has been brilliant in the role as well, as the Brazil international has scored six goals in nine Premier League appearances for the Toffees.
Former Liverpool defender Thompson has spoken highly of the Everton youngster.
Thompson said about Richarlison on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News on Saturday afternoon (1:11pm, November 10, 2018): “This boy physically is absolutely right for this Premier League.
“You see him, he is strong, he is good. The only question whether playing centre-forward was going to be right for him, but my goodness, I think he has put that all to bed.”
Good signing
Everton signed Richarlison from Premier League rivals Watford in the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian worked with current Everton manager Silva at the Hornets last season, and the 21-year-old is flourishing at Goodison Park.
The youngster is still developing and progressing as a footballer, and he will make mistakes from time to time.
Everton are ninth in the Premier League table at the moment with 18 points from 11 matches.
