Ex-Spurs boss Redknapp: Everton must sell Richarlison to strengthen squad

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp can see Everton selling Richarlison to strengthen Frank Lampard's squad overall.

Redknapp highlighted how sometimes the best player in a team has to be sold in order to raise money to strengthen the squad and this is the case with Everton.

Talking to TalkSPORT, Redknapp said: "He [Richarlison] has got ability, there is no doubt about that. He can drive you mad though at times when you see him diving about, and whatever he gets up to. He can certainly play, though, and scores, and he has managed to get assists.

"But if Frank has no money to spend, he is going to have to sell. Sometimes you have to sell your best player to try and get two or three in. He [Lampard] needs to strengthen that team. That team that Everton have got at the moment, they are going to struggle. I am desperate for them [Everton] to do well, I kicked every ball with Frank this season, but I think they are going to be struggling again."
