Clinton Morrison has raved about reported Arsenal target Richarlison on BBC Sport for his performance for Everton against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.
Richarlison, linked with a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window, scored for Everton in their 3-2 win against Palace at home in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
The Brazil international forward found the back of the net in the 75th minute.
It saw Everton make it 2-2 in the game at the time.
Frank Lampard’s side had gone 2-0 down after 36 minutes.
It was also the £110,000-a-week (SalarySport) striker’s 10th in the Premier League this season.
Richarlison has also provided five assists in the league this campaign.
The win against Palace means that Everton have secured their Premier League status for next season.
Former Palace forward and BBC Sport pundit Morrison was following the match on Thursday evening, and he was impressed by the display produced by reported Arsenal target Richarlison.
Planet Sport reported in March that Arsenal Technical Director Edu is a huge fan of his Brazilian compatriot Richarlison and wants to sign him for the North London club this summer.
Praise for Arsenal target and Everton striker Richarlison
Morrison said about Richarlison on BBC Sport: “I’ve been critical of Richarlison but he has been excellent.When they have needed him, he has scored the big goals. He has been outstanding.”
Gunners transfer possible?
In our opinion, Arsenal could sign Richarlison from Premier League rivals Everton in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Everton have staved off relegation to the Championship at the end of the season, but Arsenal will play in the Europa League at least, maybe even in the Campions League.
In our opinion, a move to Arsenal from Everton would be a step-up for Richarlison, and the Toffees could be tempted to sell the 25-year-old former Watford star if they get a big offer.
