Image for Everton: Fans left in stitches after footage emerges

Fans of Everton were left in stitches after footage from when the Toffees signed Richarlison from Watford emerged on social media.

On Thursday, footage from ESPN FC in which Raphael Honigstein discussed the Toffees paying £50 million for the Brazilian’s services was posted to Twitter (via @nocontextrichy7), which had fans in stitches.

We'll start easy for this Everton kits quiz, which shirt sponsor did the Toffees announce that their partnership with would be being brought to a premature end earlier this season?

Has Richarlison proven that he was worth the £50-million outlay yet?

Yes, he definitely has done

Yes, he definitely has done

No, he hasn't done just yet

No, he hasn't done just yet

In the footage, Honigstein stated that Everton were prepared to pay “vast sums of money on, perhaps, players that are not quite worth it” before labelling £50 million as a “really weird price tag” (via @nocontextrichy7).

If that was not bad enough, the pundit went on to state that Watford, having received the offer of £50 million, would “drive him up to Everton” themselves as they would “sell him happily for half the money”.

What do we think?

Since the Toffees secured the services of the 22-year-old Brazilian for £50 million (per BBC) he has scored 26 goals and assisted six in 70 appearances for Everton (per Transfermarkt).

Meanwhile, his 7.32/10 average rating over 27 Premier League appearances this season, which has made Richarlison the best-performing player for the Toffees in the league this term (per WhoScored), is yet further proof that Honigstein may have been wrong.
