Richarlison breaks silence on Everton future amid transfer links to Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs

Richarlison has alerted a number of clubs in London regarding his availability in this summer’s transfer window.

The Everton forward enjoyed a successful season personally, scoring 10 goals and grabbing five assists in 30 games for a club battling relegation. It was the Brazilian’s goal against Chelsea which gave the Toffees a shock 1-0 win and his equaliser in the 3-2 win over Crystal Palace saw them confirm their place in next season’s Premier League.

Signed from Watford for £45million back in 2018, Richarlison has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park for a number of seasons, such is his talent. Now a full Brazilian international, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have all been linked with a move for the 25-year-old in recent months.

And his comments while on international duty has once again fuelled the fire as a move once the transfer window opens looks a real possibility. Asked about his next move, he said via the Daily Mail: “I’ve already made it clear to the board. I’ve already talked to [manager Frank] Lampard too, with my agents and they know what I want. Let’s wait for June.

“Now I can’t talk, because when we talk about leaving a club I’m kind of like this, because of the history I have at Everton, the affection that the fans have for me. When we talk about leaving I’m a little speechless.”

Everton won’t let Richarlison go on the cheap, with Frank Lampard keen to keep his best players as they look to avoid a relegation battle next season. But at 25, the forward could seek a move to a club which will see him not only challenge for cups but playing in Europe’s best club competitions.
