Richarlison called up to first Brazil squad after sparkling start to life at Everton

Richarlison's fantastic start to life as an Everton player has been rewarded with a first call-up to the Brazil national team for the young star.

The 21-year-old winger arrived at Goodison Park from Watford this summer in a £35 million ($45.1m) deal, and wasted no time in announcing himself to his new fans.

He smashed both goals against Wolves in Everton's first game of the 2018-19 Premier League, adding another the following week to help down Southampton 2-1 on his home debut.

And while a red card on Saturday while facing Bournemouth ended that encouraging run, he is set to feature for the Selecao in their upcoming friendly engagements.
