The Brazilian had been on fire in the initial stages of the new season. He joined Everton from Watford and immediately struck a chord with the fans, scoring a brace in his debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers. He followed it up with a goal against Southampton in the very next game, but received a straight red in his third game.

He had to sit out for two game, but when he returned, he found it harder to score, and couldn’t find the back of the net for two games on the trot. However, last weekend’s game against Leicester City saw Richarlison return to scoring ways and it must have been a relief for both player and the fans.
The Brazilian has a healthy return of 0.67 goals per game this season in the Premier League and has already hit 15 shots, 7 of which have been on target. Needless to say, his ability to find the back of the net has endeared him to the Everton fans and has made him one of their most vital players.
Even though he did cost them a fortune, Richarlison is slowly starting to return on the investment made on him by the club and is one of the finest transfers in the Premier League so far this season.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over seven years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
