Supporters of Everton have gushed over their Brazilian winger, Richarlison, following a string of impressive performances from the 22-year-old.
Having scored the winning goal in Saturday’s clash with Brighton and Hove Albion and picking up an 8/10 rating (as per Liverpool Echo), fans were ready to gush over their talented forward following an article from the Athletic.
Richarlison led the way yesterday and it wasn’t just his goal which underlined why he’s so special #EFC https://t.co/PDyf99CiXt

With all the over excited chat lately being about Traore, Grealish, et al , this is great to read. Yes we paid a few bob for him, but he is so underrated by the media at large

He’s steadily becoming ‘older and wiser’ in the Prem, with fewer hysterionics now. Will only get better this kid. Hope we manage to build a team around him.

Do you believe that Richarlison is underrated by the wider football community?Yes, they don't know how good he is
No, they have a good measure of him

Over 65 games for the Toffees in Everton blue, the former Watford man has scored an impressive 24 goals and made six assists for teammates (as per Transfermarkt).
To add further fuel to Everton fans’ fires, the 22-year-old has a stellar average rating for this season of 7.22/10 (as per WhoScored), which has left fans to wax lyrical.
Love him in that second striker role and he’s only going to improve. Great player

Best player since Kanchelskis at Goodison? I get that Cahill had a bigger impact but since maybe Arteta or Rooney is he the best player we have had?

Richarlison is on his way to being world class

I’d argue it is nearly every game, he might not be having the best game but u can usually rely on Richarlison to put a shift in for as long as he’s on the pitch https://t.co/1EPgAmWFJ7

What do we think?
While it has only been a season and a half since his arrival in Merseyside for £50 million (as per BBC), it seems as though the Brazilian has been at Goodison Park forever.
It is easy to forget that he is just 22 and it is without a doubt that he will continue to improve as he continues to mature in the Premier League, with his goal involvement returns continually improving year on year, as it looks set to do so again (as per Transfermarkt).
