3 Key players behind the resurgence of Everton under Carlo Ancelotti | Premier League 2019-20

#3 Richarlison

Everton FC v Watford FC - Carabao Cup Round of 16

Richarlison moved to Goodison Park from Watford in 2018 for a reported fee of €35m. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength and has established himself as one of the crucial members of the Everton squad.

The Brazilian possesses incredible pace, dribbling skills and a knack for scoring goals. The 22-year-old has been the talisman for the Toffees this season and has contributed to 15 goals, scoring 11 and creating four. Additionally, the forward is highly versatile and can play centrally or on either of the wings.

Furthermore, the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti has had a positive impact on the youngster. Under the Italian manager, the 22-year-old has been playing alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin, as the center-forward in a 4-4-2 formation. This has reduced his defensive responsibilities and has allowed him to play with much more freedom.

His recent performances have brought him into the limelight and many top clubs are keeping a close eye on him. Recently, there were reports that Barcelona have shown keen interest in bringing the Brazilian forward at the Camp Nou.
