Richarlison

Range Rover


Holding on to your heroes even after they've gone. The man from Brazil stopped to hand over a very special gift to a lucky Everton fan. Reckon he'll feel the same when the striker comes to visit with Tottenham?

Born in Nova Venécia, Espírito Santo, Brazil, Richarlison's early struggles saw him almost give up on a professional career in football. Trying his luck one last time, the Brazilian joined América Mineiro's youth setup in 2014 and within a year was promoted to their first-team. 9 goals and a series of impressive displays helped his club earn promotion to Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and earned him a move to established Série A club Fluminense. His debut for the Rio de Janeiro club came in the Copa do Brazil, contributing to all 3 of his teams goals in a 3-3 draw against Ferroviaria. In two years with Fluminense he featured in 67 games and scored 19 goals. Richarlison's big break came in August 2017, when Premier League club Watford paid £11.2 million for his services. The man from Brazil took the Premier League by storm in his first season with The Hornets, playing in all 38 games with 10 goal contributions. This form and brilliance saw fellow Premier League club Everton sign the Nova Venécia native on a five-year deal for a fee rising to £50 million. In August 2018, on his competitive debut for the Merseyside club, Richarlison scored twice in a 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Brazilian quickly turned into Everton's talisman, notching double figures in goals in each of his 4 seasons at Merseyside. In the summer of 2022, after 152 appearances, 53 goals and 14 assists, the striker brought the curtain down on his time at Everton and signed for Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth in excess of £60 million.
