The Watford winger has been photographed on Merseyside ahead of his proposed move to Everton.
It looks like the wheels are definitely in motion for Everton to sign Richarlison from Watford.
The Liverpool Echo reported this morning that the Brazilian winger was set to travel to Merseyside for a medical ahead of a £40 million switch to Everton.
And that looks bang on the money after the 21-year-old was photographed entering a private hospital in Liverpool a little earlier today.
If the deal goes through for £40 million, Richarlison, who could reunite with former Hornets boss Marco Silva, would be the Toffees’ second-most expensive signing of all time, after Gylfi Sigurdsson.
It’s certainly a big risk for a player who scored five goals and managed four assists in 38 Premier League outings last season, but the potential is certainly there and, at 21, the South American flier could get a lot better.
Under Silva, the former Fluminense star will have a manager who knows his game inside out and that’s very positive from an Everton perspective.
The Merseyside outfit have also been linked with a move for Richarlison’s team-mate Abdoulaye Doucoure.
