Richarlison Earns First Brazil Call-Up

Everton forward Richarlison has been handed a first senior call-up by Brazil for their friendly matches against the USA and El Salvador next month.

The 21-year-old, who signed for the Blues from Watford this summer, has been rewarded after kicking off his Toffees career with three goals in three Premier League games.

Richarlison netted twice in a 2-2 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers on his Everton debut, before following that up with a goal in a 2-1 win over Southampton at Goodison Park.

The forward – who has won 10 caps for his country at Under-20 level – replaces Pedro in Brazil’s squad after the Fluminense striker suffered an injury while playing for his club against Cruzeiro on Sunday.
