The Brazilian recorded five goals and five assists in 24 games with the Portuguese manager.<\/p>\n<p>After Silva was sacked, the Brazilian forward became the first option to be subbed off whenever needed. He ended the season with the same five goals and five assists.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his descent, Richarlison\u2019s first impression lasted. Numerous clubs were set on signing him for the new season, Everton being the successful one.<\/p>\n<p>His already-established relationship with the Toffees manager Marco Silva\u00a0played a huge part in his decision to move to Merseyside.<\/p>\n<h2>High Hopes<\/h2>\n<p>The expectations for the Brazilian\u2019s development are high. He has already shown a good work ethic and very collective playing style with a lot of individual qualities as well.<\/p>\n<p>Richarlison is often used as a left-winger but can play in every position across the front line. This versatility is what caught Marco Silva\u2019s eye in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Now at Everton, Silva is expected to build a strong squad and regain a top-seven place, that secures a spot in the UEFA Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese manager has already expressed his appreciation regarding the Brazilian forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We are talking about a fantastic talent, a very, very good player. I\u2019m sure in the future he\u2019ll achieve everything he can<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richarlison and Marco Silva have formed a strong and successful partnership at Watford and are expected to surpass that at Everton this season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"RVCxIEJsROBq14AjyQbxXw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/930468836\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'RVCxIEJsROBq14AjyQbxXw',sig:'XwLWkWIo2wOb1OHOI3EJ08HGPEAsuh3SpxeYOZTeNY4=',w:'396px',h:'594px',items:'930468836',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everton have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Richarlison for a reported \u00a340 million fee.
