Richarlison's emotional reaction as Everton star named in the Brazil squad for the Copa America

Richarlison was mobbed by family and friends when it was confirmed he had been picked to play for Brazil this summer.

The Everton forward watched the announcement for the Copa America squad on television at his grandparents' house.

Richarlison, 22, was one of the last names to be confirmed and the Blues' joint top-scorer admits he was beginning to get nervous.

But his place in Tite's squad for the tournament in Brazil next month was confirmed and prompted emotional scenes.

Richarlison made his Brazil debut following his £35m switch to Goodison last summer and after a fine first season at the club, he has become an integral part of the national set-up.
