No, not good enough

In nearly two years since the Toffees acquired the services of the attacker from Watford (per BBC), Richarlison has bagged an impressive 26 goals and six assists in 70 Everton appearances (per Transfermarkt).
So, following the quotes from the 23-year-old being relayed to fans on social media (per Everton), supporters could not help but air their admiration for him.
That mentality ??

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from Everton supporters, they were delighted to read Richarlison’s aspirations to become an Everton great.
If the Brazilian can continue the form which has seen him record a 7.32/10 average rating in the Premier League this season, making him the best-performing player for the Toffees (per WhoScored), it may just be a matter of time before he is one of the greats.
