Another from the endless production line of technically gifted players in Brazil, Richarlison has been an absolute revelation in Marcos Silva's Watford project. The wily Brazilian has been crucial to the team's good showing and has provided a new dimension of attack along the flank with his trickery and tireless tenacity.

Richarlison was picked up from Fluminense for £13m, and considering the fact that he's only 20 and has hit the ground running in the league, that looks like a sum that is going to be repaid in multiples with the bigger fish swimming around this wonderful talent already.

His presence along the left flank has been phenomenal and his ability to deliver the goods even at crunch situations and clutch timings has caught the eye further. Richarlison has thrived at the latter stages of games with his tireless demeanour and has scored multiple late winners and equalisers this season already. He has formed a good understanding with his midfield and has impressed with his movement off the ball too.

A tendency to dive and gaining a reputation for the same has been the only flaw as such in his game, and while his finishing hasn't been up to the mark, the potential is sky high and it won't be long before Richarlison puts more chances to bed and further enhances his reputation in the footballing world.

One to look out for.
