Richarlison was a real fan favourite at Everton.
The Brazilian forward netted some really crucial goals during his four-year stay on Merseyside, with his prolific end to the 2021/22 a notable highlight.
Richarlison almost single-handedly kept Everton up that year and as such, earned a whopping £60m transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Unfortunately, his career in North London hasn’t at all gone to plan and there has been some talk of him leaving this summer.
Everton have been linked with resigning Richarlison, though, it would certainly be a really difficult deal to do financially.
It remains to be seen if he’d be David Moyes‘ kind of player anyway, especially after what an Everton source once said about his personality.

Everton insider described Richarlison as childish but lovable
Speaking to The Athletic, one unnamed Everton insider once described Richarlison as very childish but a loveable character.
“Like a 12-year-old, but very likeable,” the unanimous person said.
The Brazilian had a very cheeky personality and many viewed him as almost their little brother, which is why he was so popular among the squad.

“And you know what, he is so loved in the changing room – he’s a great character,” Seamus Coleman said in 2020.
“What I enjoy most about him – and I know everybody loves to see the goals – is his work-rate and desire to win. He’s got niggles every second week, but he gets on with it.
“He’s a warrior and we’re very happy to have him. He’s a proper Everton player.”
Could Everton resign Richarlison?
Richarlison is very much a fringe player at Tottenham Hotspur and it seems he hasn’t at all won over the supporters.
So perhaps for all parties, it’s best that he leaves the club this summer and Everton will indeed be heavily linked as his next destination.
According to TBR Football, Everton chiefs still hold Richarlison in high regard and would be interested in bringing him back to the club.
But, only if Richarlison is willing.
