Richarlison has hit six goals in his first 10 Premier League appearances for Everton.

Seamus Coleman has told the Liverpool Echo that everyone at Everton is seriously excited about Richarlison.

Richarlison only joined Everton from Watford during the summer transfer window, and the youngster has been in excellent form so far this season.

The Brazilian has hit six goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances.

And Coleman admits that he has been hugely impressed by Richarlison’s performances so far this term.

“You don’t want to put massive pressure on him but we are all excited by him and his ability,” the right-back said.

“His quality to score goals is amazing and his work-rate is second-to-none so that’s impressive. For him to put in a shift and get two goals [against Brighton] we are all very excited about him.”

Richarlison has already become a fans’ favourite at Goodison Park, with Marco Silva giving him a vital role.

The youngster started this term in a wide attacking position, but has been moved to a central striker in recent weeks.

Richarlison has led the line well, and his battling performance in the Toffees’ 0-0 draw with Chelsea at the weekend earned him praise.

Everton are next in action in two weeks’ time, when they take on Cardiff City.
