Everton confirm Richarlison signing

Everton have completed the signing of Watford winger Richarlison for a reported fee of £40m on a five-year deal.

The 21-year old Brazilian has reunited with Everton boss Marco Silva, who brought him to Vicarage Road from Fluminense last summer.

Richarlison marks Silva’s first signing as Everton manager since joining the Toffees at the end of May.

The former Brazil Under-20 international played 41 times for the Hornets last season, playing in every Premier League game.

He scored five goals and assisted four for the club, all goals of which came during Silva’s tenure before he was sacked in January.

Richarlison is expected to provide competition for Ademola Lookman and Theo Walcott, while Yannick Bolasie appears likely to leave the club.
