Richarlison has opened up on his "special relationship" with Everton manager Marco Silva.

The Brazil international followed Silva from Watford to Goodison Park last summer.

And he has credited the Portuguese with helping him grow.

"Like that of a father with his son," Richarlison told France Football.

"Since I came from Brazil, he has always helped me to grow and evolve.

"During training, he talks to me a lot and he does not hesitate to call me in his office so we can have discussions and watch videos to know what I'm doing right or wrong.

"It helps me a lot. There is a special relationship between us."
