Supporters of Everton have gushed over a social media post between Richarlison and Brazilian winger, Everton Soares.
Following an Instagram post from Everton’s 22-year-old frontman which gained a response from Everton, the player, Richarlison responded in his native language to Gremio’s 23-year-old attacker saying: ‘we are waiting for you’ (via @CarloMagnifico), which had fans gushing.
Interestingly, Everton Soares has been linked with a move to Goodison Park recently, so perhaps Richarlison already knows something may be going on.

Would Everton, Richarlison and Moise Kean be a front three that excited you for the Toffees?Yes, that would be amazing
No, a little underwhelming

For his Brazilian outfit this season, Everton has featured in 30 league games, in which he has scored 11 and assisted five (as per Transfermarkt).
Furthermore, across the whole of his Gremio career, the £31.5-million rated attacker has scored 47 and assisted 16 in 177 outings (per Transfermarkt), which had supporters hungry for his arrival.
Ooooo ello???

What do we think?
For a player who predominantly plays on the wing, his goal involvement figure for the number of games he has played in his career is certainly impressive.
However, with his market value of £31.5 million and three years left on his contract (as per Transfermarkt), it could set the Merseyside club back a hefty sum should they want to seal his arrival.
One thing is clear though, it would be a move that would spark excitement among the Goodison Park faithful, that is for sure.
