Everton manager David Moyes is in the market for a new centre-forward this January transfer window.
Thierno Barry and Beto have scored one Premier League goal between them this season, so clearly more firepower is needed.
Barry has impressed of late, but the young Frenchman would still benefit from another striker joining who he could learn from.
Everton News understands Richarlison is keen on a return to Merseyside, so the ball seems to be in Moyes’ court.

Richarlison looks back to his best at Tottenham Hotspur
It has been reported that Everton could feasibly sign Richarlison on a loan deal, and that is the most likely structure of the potential deal.
Moyes and his recruitment staff should seriously consider that transfer as the Brazil international looks back to his best in recent weeks.

Bring back Richarlison…
He scored against Arsenal and Manchester United before that, so Everton have the opportunity to sign a striker bang in form.
It’s understood that Richarlison would love the chance to play at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton have also been monitoring Troy Parrott
Everton are also looking at other options away from Richarlison, with one of them being Republic of Ireland and AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott.
Toffees scouts watched Parrott during the international break as he scored two goals against Portugal and a hat-trick against Hungary.

Alkmaar would consider selling Parrott for around £31m this winter, so it would be a pretty hefty deal for Everton to do.
Richarlison seems to be the much better option, especially given he’s already a proven Premier League goalscorer.
