Kurt Zouma heaps the praise on Richarlison

Everton loanee Kurt Zouma has hailed the influence of fellow summer signing Richarlison, as per a report from the Daily Mail.

It’s been a mixed start for Richarlison on Merseyside following his big-money move in the summer from Watford. In his opening three games for the club, the Brazilian has netted on three occasions but was also recently sent off against Bournemouth.

The young winger was drafted into the senior Brazil squad for the first time on Monday evening and will be desperate to make an impression on the international stage.

Nevertheless, Zouma spoke of how impressed he has been with the tricky wide man following his arrival at Goodison Park, hailing his qualities and importance to Marco Silva’s side.

Zouma also alluded to the player’s conduct following the red card against Bournemouth but backed Richarlison to put his disciplinary concerns behind him in the not so distant future.

He is an important player for us. He is a very good player and is quite young – maybe he was a bit too emotional (with the red card) but he is very young and a top quality player so he will bounce back and come back and help us.
