#3 Richarlison (Everton)

The enigmatic Brazilian has shone for the Toffees

The enigmatic Brazilian was signed from Watford for a deal believed to be around 40m. He started the season with a bang, scoring on his debut and continuing his form in the month of August. Despite a red card against Bournemouth, Richarlison has provided Everton with an impetus, an impetus which was sorely lacking from their game last season.

Under the tutelage of Marco Silva, Richarlison has found his best form and also earned a call-up to the national side. At present, the Brazilian is the most exciting option Everton have in their ranks and has the ability to trouble the meanest of defences.

In 5 league appearances for the Toffees, he has made the net bulge on 3 occasions, which is a very good return considering he doesn’t play as a striker. Everton have had an unspectacular start to the season and currently find themselves in the bottom half. However, if things are to change, their new talisman, Richarlison has a huge role to play.

Though he was signed just a few months back, he looks like a shrewd investment. On the back of his performances, one can safely assume that he would carry the Toffees’ attacking burden for years to come. Thus, he makes the Top 3 of our list.
