Everton are expected to finalise the £40m signing of Richarlison on Monday.

Talks between the Blues and Watford have progressed in the last 48 hours and the 21-year-old is on course to become the club's first signing of the summer at the start of next week.

Richarlison was not involved in the Hornets' pre-season game with Fortuna Dusseldorf today and a medical at Finch Farm has been pencilled in for Monday morning.

It is understood the deal to take the Brazilian from Vicarage Road to Goodison is worth £40m with an initial fee in the region of £35m.

Marco Silva brought Richarlison to the Premier League last summer when in charge at Watford and was determined to be reunited with the left-sided attacker.

Director of football Marcel Brands has also been a long-time admirer of the youngster and sanctioned the club making a move for the former Fluminese player.
