There is no doubting that Richarlison is Everton’s best player by a country mile, and at the moment, they are fortunate to have a player of his talent on the books.
It is no secret that the Toffees have been suffering a slump recently in terms of results and many will point to the attack as the main cause for concern – after all, the likes of Cenk Tosun have hardly been prolific recently.
However, Richarlison has been their best player this season – and if their woes continue to the end of the campaign, then the Brazilian will surely seek an exit Goodison Park in the summer.
He is far too good to be at a club who are struggling, and the fans no doubt recognise this – and he is the last player that they would want to lose.
The 21-year-old was incredible when he arrived at the club, which has resulted in 11 goals for the campaign so far – but there is only so long that he will remain patient with what going on at the club.
His patience will start to wear thin and by the summer, he could walk, as the likes of Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Paris St-Germain are keeping tabs on the in-demand attacker according to the Daily Star.
He has even been played up front this season in a bid to solve Everton’s problems up front, and the ace was no doubt frustrated in having to play in a role that is not suited to his best talents.
The Everton dazzler is capable of doing well for someone else, so it would not be a surprise in the slightest if he did decide to walk at the end of the season.
Why would he remain at a club who are in turmoil?
Richarlison is a lot better than that, and if things to not start heading in the right direction before the campaign ends, then there will only be one direction for him – and that is the exit door.
