ESPN Brazil's Murilo Augusto examines the reasons behind Richarlison's immediate impact in the Premier League with Watford after his move from Fluminense. Watch five of the most unbelievable goals as Everton recorded a 22-0 preseason win over Austrian side ATV Irdning. ESPN FC's Shaka Hislop breaks down the latest rumours making the rounds in Transfer Rater, involving Jasper Cillessen, Thibaut Courtois and more.
Everton are closing in on a £40 million move for Watford star Richarlison, sources have told ESPN FC.
The two clubs are in advanced talks over a deal for the Brazilian, who has flown back from Watford's preseason tour of Austria for talks and a medical.
New Everton boss Marco Silva is a big fan of Richarlison, having signed him while he was in charge of Watford last season, and he is keen to be reunited with him at Goodison Park.
Richarlison caught the eye at the start of last season following his arrival from Fluminese last summer, scoring five goals in his first 13 appearances.
The 21-year-old's form tailed off in the second half of the season, but he kept his place in the Watford side.
If Richarlison comes through his medical he is set to become the club's first signing of preseason.
