Everton boss Silva: As soon as I saw Richarlison I knew his quality

Everton boss Marco Silva has spoken of his relationship with Richarlison.

Richarlison has scored four goals in six Premier League appearances since his £40m arrival from Watford. For Silva, he was well worth the expense.

"My feeling since the first moment I saw him in Brazil is that he is a player with a very good profile to play here in the Premier League," says Silva.

"Of course some of the Brazilian players sometimes have some problems and some difficulties to adapt quickly here, but Richarlison has a different profile as a player. He is strong and he is not scared about challenges."
