Richarlison completed his move to Everton on Tuesday.
Richarlison has posted a passionate post to Everton fans on Instagram after finally completing a £50million move to Goodison Park from Watford on Tuesday afternoon.
The 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the Toffees, which sees Marco Silva break the club’s transfer record in his first purchase as Everton manager.
The previous record stood from last summer, in the form of Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea City for £45million but now the pressure is on Brazilian youth international Richarlison to prove he has got what it takes to shine on Merseyside.
The former Fluminense attacker told Everton fans that he would wear the Toffees shirt “with pride” and will “give 100% commitment” during his time with Silva’s squad.
There are doubts surrounding whether Richarlison is worth that £50million deal that Everton have agreed with Watford, after he managed only five Premier League goals last season for the Hornets.
But at such a young age, Richarlison is only going to get better and under Silva – who signed him for Watford from Fluminense – the attacker could thrive.
Richarlison could make his first appearance for Everton on Thursday, as the Toffees go up against newly-promoted Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
