Just like compatriot David Neres, Richarlison used the under 20 South American Championship in January in order to boost his reputation for the numerous European scouts that attended Brazil's matches.

After rumours linked the attacker with a move to Chelsea and Ajax, Richarlison ended up at Premier League side Watford, where his start has been extremely promising, to say the least.

In 9 league appearances, the 20-year old has already scored on 3 occasions, while mustering 2 assists. The general consensus is that the left-winger has been one of the most impressive young talents in England, so far in this campaign.

If Richarlison continues to pull-out such performances, it may not be too long before a stronger side snatches him from Watford, though it seems that his permanence under Marco Silva's tutelage is the best decision for his development, at the moment.
