Sport nationEverton FC should consider breaking the bank to re-sign Richarlison from Tottenham Hotspur, following a fresh update on the Brazilian forward’s future. Despite leaving Goodison Park two years ago for a £60m fee, Richarlison’s time at Spurs has been underwhelming, and reports suggest he may be open to a return to his former club.
Journalist Paul O’Keefe has refuted claims that Richarlison is set to join the Saudi Arabian revolution, stating simply that “he doesn’t want to go”. This development has sparked hope among Everton fans that their former star could return to Merseyside.
Richarlison’s departure from Everton was a significant blow, but his return could be the missing piece of the puzzle for manager Sean Dyche. During his final year with the Toffees, Richarlison scored ten goals and assisted five, effectively saving the club from relegation.
Carlo Ancelotti, Richarlison’s former manager, once suggested that he had the potential to fight for Ballon d’Or awards, such was his quality. While that ambition may seem unlikely now, there is no doubt that he would thrive within Dyche’s hard-working system.
Richarlison’s energetic pressing, good link-up play, and remarkable aerial ability make him an ideal fit for Everton’s style of play. His existing relationship with Dominic Calvert-Lewin would also be a significant bonus.
If Everton can convince Richarlison to return, it would be a major coup for the club. With his £90k-a-week wages, it would require a significant investment, but one that could pay off in the long run.
