Everton set to land Brazilian winger for £50m

Everton are reportedly prepared to break their transfer record in order to land Brazilian winger Richarlison from Watford this summer.

The 21-year-old only joined the Hornets from Fluminense for £11m last summer and went on to contribute five goals through his maiden Premier League campaign.

According to The Mail, the Brazilian is now on the cusp of a big-money move to Goodison Park with former boss Marco Silva keen on a reunion for his services.

Richarlison presently has four more years remaining on his Watford contract but the Hornets are certain to sanction the player's sale with the Toffees having agreed to match their £50m price tag.

Everton have spent most of the summer trying to lower their wage bill in the form of player sales and loans but manager Silva has stressed that the club will go on a late spending spree to fulfil the squad requirements.
