Snapped up by Marco Silva from his former club Watford for a £35million fee potentially rising to £50million, the 21-year-old has established himself as a big fans' favourite at Goodison Park this season.
Despite initial criticism over his price tag from pundit Paul Merson, who won two league titles, an FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup-Winners' Cup with Arsenal, Richarlison has netted 13 goals for the Blues so far this term, a significant improvement on his haul from his first season in England (five for the Hornets in 2017/18).
