Everton star Richarlison is reportedly on the radar of Barcelona.

Barcelona are interested in signing Richarlison from Everton as a potential replacement for Luis Suarez, according to The Daily Star.

With Suarez in his early 30s and suffering with knee injuries in recent times, Barcelona are on the hunt for a suitable replacement, and the Spanish and European giants have identified Everton attacker Richarlison, according to the report.

Good signing for Barcelona?

The 21-year-old Brazil international can operate as a forward or as a winger, and the youngster has been superb for the Toffees so far this season.

Signed from Watford in the summer transfer window, the youngster scored seven goals in 13 Premier League appearances for the Toffees so far this season, according to BBC Sport.

Barcelona signed 31-year-old Uruguay international forward Suarez from Everton’s Merseyside rivals Liverpool back in the summer of 2014 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £75 million.

Richarlison is very young and is still progressing, and he will be a very good long-term signing for Barcelona, who are aiming to win La Liga and the Champions League this season.
