Transfer news: Everton signs Richarlison from Watford

Everton have signed Brazilian winger, Richarlison from Watford on five year contract for £50m release clause.

The Toffees are believed to have paid an initial £35m for the 21-year-old with clauses that could make him the club’s record signing.

speaking after signing for the Toffees, Richarlison said, “I want to have a lot of success with Everton.”

“I think it is going to be important for me to be with Marco Silva again. I will learn more because I am still learning as a player and I aim to develop and grow here.

“I developed really well with him while he was with me at Watford. It was really good working with him and one day I believe he can help me to be selected for Brazil in the full national team.

“Everton have put their faith in me and I intend to honour this shirt and demonstrate on the pitch why I came here. I want my dreams to become a reality here at one of the biggest clubs in England.”
