Brazilian forward, Richarlison has completed a move to rejoin his former coach, Marco Silva at Goodison Park, Everton.


Richarlison, who was signed by Silva at Watford last summer, underwent a successful medical on Monday and arrives at Goodison Park on a five-year contract.

The deal, totalling £40m, will not surpass Everton’s current transfer record – Gylfi Sigurdsson’s £45m arrival from Swansea City last year.


“I want to have a lot of success with Everton,” Richarlison told Everton’s official website. ”I think it is going to be important for me here 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’ve known the manager for a while obviously, so I know how he works,” he added on Silva. “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.
