#4 Richarlison (Everton)

Like he did last season, the 21-year-old seems to have faded after a great start. He got 6 goals in his first 10 Premier League games but has only gotten 6 in his last 18 games.

To be honest, the newly-minted Brazilian international is still not being fully deployed as a central striker and has started lots of games recently down the flanks.

However, Richarlison has shown enough to convince that given an extended run as a striker in a team like Real Madrid, he could run riot

Blessed with intelligence, strength, speed, and agility, his style of play reminds one of a certain Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima.

Brilliant in the air, like Ronaldo, his trickery and quick feet help him get off shots before defenders have time to react. This he has done on a number of occasions already for a stuttering Everton side and could do better surrounded by the more cultured settings of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The Toffees just paid £40m for his services in the summer. If Perez wants to get him to switch from Merseyside to Madrid, he may have to double what the club paid Watford for his services.
