Richarlison emerges as a surprise transfer target for Barcelona

Richarlison has been on a good run in the Premier League

Barcelona's recent interest in Harry Kane has been surprising. Now, it turns out that the Cules have also pinned a Plan B to the board. Everton's in-form forward Richarlison has emerged as a surprise target for Barcelona, according to the Daily Star.

Luis Suarez recent performances have suggested that he's past his prime and Barcelona have readily waded in to the market in search of a striker who can come up with the goals on a regular basis at the Camp Nou.

Richarlison joined Everton this summer from Watford and has been in electric form and has scored 7 goals for the Toffees this term. Barcelona will move for Richarlison if their bid for Harry Kane gets rebuffed and that is very likely to happen.
