Not only has the 22-year-old forward captured supporters’ infatuation on social media, he has also done it on the Goodison Park pitch this season, having been the club’s best-performing player with a 7.35/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
The Brazilian has achieved his impressive rating through scoring 11 and assisting four over 29 appearances in all competitions for Carlo Ancelotti’s side (per Transfermarkt), leaving fans quick to admire their star man.
Mad how his dog is just as boss as he is ?

What a lovely little fella. Hope he brings Richarlison luck this weekend against Arsenal.

What do we think?
Well, judging from the responses, it appears as though this was the wholesome Twitter content that Everton fans needed on their Thursday afternoon.
Due to his stellar 7.35/10 average rating (per WhoScored), though, it seems more likely that the 22-year-old’s performances have left supporters more keen to gush than the tweet itself.
