Brazil coach Tite hands Everton striker Richarlison first call-up

Brazil coach Tite has named Everton striker Richarlison in his squad for the first time.

The 21-year-old forward, Everton's £44million record buy in the summer, was sent off for an apparent head-butt in the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on Saturday.

However, it is the three goals he struck in his first two Premier League matches against Wolves and Southampton that have attracted Tite.

The Selecao face USA and El Salvador in friendlies next month.
