5 exciting wingers that could be brilliant playing as strikers

#1 Richarlison (Everton & Brazil)

Richarlison

looks like the best fit for the striking position

Probably the readiest to play as a centre-forward, the 21-year-old has shown that with the right coaching and in the right environment, he can become a world-class striker

His pace, strength, elusiveness, and skills bamboozled the Premier League in the season that he arrived at Watford. Playing as an inverted winger, the Brazilian youngster wrecked opposition defences by drifting into scoring positions

Following his £40 million move to Everton, he started the season playing on the left flanking either Cenk Tosun or Dominic Calvert-Lwein. His ability to drift into space as well as take defenders on is a hallmark of the world's best strikers.

He is good in the air and like the Brazilian great, Ronaldo de Lima, his trickery and quick feet can help him get off shots before defenders have time to react. In his first game as a centre-forward for the Toffees, he made life miserable for the Leicester City defence, scoring a goal and drawing fouls (Leicester captain Wes Morgan was sent-off for fouling him twice).

With Everton manager, Marco Silva set to give him an extended run in the position, expect Richarlison to get even better.
