He can play in a number of positions including up front on his own, or in a partnership. His ability in one v one situations means he is more than adept at playing out wide or in a number 10 role. The Brazilian international is direct and has a good football brain which enables him to get into good positions and often make the right choice.<\/p>\n<p>He is always pressing the opposition or making runs in behind, never giving his markers a rest. In a struggling Everton team last season, Richarlison was often on a one-man rescue mission, especially towards the end of the season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in 33 games.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil international Richarlison is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
