Richarlison will be a hit at Everton and can star for Brazil – Rivaldo

Brazil great Rivaldo has tipped Everton new boy Richarlison to be a hit at Goodison Park.

Signed in the summer for £40 million ($51m) from Watford, the 21-year-old has started life with the Toffees in a promising manner and even earned a call up for Brazil’s forthcoming fixtures against USA and El Salvador.

Indeed, having netted three times in the Premier League so far, he finds himself joint third in the goal scoring charts.

“I believe he will justify the investment at Everton. He is making things happen,” 2002 World Cup winner Rivaldo told the Daily Star.
