The 21-year-old Everton attacker Richarlison has made an explosive start with Everton and is hopeful that such form can continue for the duration of the season.

“I feel more prepared, I already know the rhythm and style of the Premier League, which helps me on the way to the achievements,” the 21-year-old told UOL.

“I want to be the top scorer of the league, take Everton back to the Champions League and reach the Brazilian national team.”

Indeed, Richarlison was left disappointed when he was overlooked by Brazil boss Tite.

“I was anxious during the call-ups on Friday. I watched with a lot of expectation, but sadly it wasn’t this time,” he said.

“Even so, I’m still hopeful and I want to be prepared if the opportunity arrives in the future.”
