Richarlison arrived the Premier League in the summer of 2018, signing for Watford in a deal worth £11.3m.

He had earlier distinguished himself in his native Brazil with Fluminense and Atletico Mineiro, while his performance at Vicarage Road was seen to be decent enough to convince Everton to sign him for a club record fee of £50m, in a move which reunited him with former Watford manager Mauro Silva.

So far this season, Richarlison has flourished at Goodison Park, scoring 10 goals and registering one assist from 26 EPL matches to help Everton to sit ninth on the Premier League table.

Even though his standards might have dropped in recent weeks compared to the first half of the season when he was in red hot form, Richarlison's performances have still been good enough for him to win his maiden Brazilian cap and he is undoubtedly among the forerunners to be crowned the 2018/2019 PFA Young Player of the Year.
