Would Yannick Bolasie suffer as a result of Everton signing Richarlison?

Yannick Bolasie is subtituted during the Premier League match between Everton and Manchester United at Goodison Park on January 1, 2018 in Liverpool, England.

According to Sky Sports, Everton are among the teams tracking Watford star Richarlison.

The Brazilian winger is hot property after a high-profile first season in the Premier League and the Toffees are seemingly big fans of the 20-year-old.

Yannick Bolasie, a £29 million signing in 2016, has struggled for regular football at Everton since returning from injury late last year, with the former Crystal Palace star starting their last four Premier League games, but only started one of the last six under Sam Allardyce prior to that.

Fans of the Goodison Park club slammed his performance in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool and if could he make way if Richarlison is signed?

The Watford star is a very similar player but, with five goals and four assists in 30 league starts, is more productive than the Congolese attacker, who has one goal and no assists in 12 games.

Richarlison is also eight years younger than Bolasie and it might be a case of Everton not really needing the latter if the Hornets starlet arrives on Merseyside.
