Richarlison has been linked with a potential transfer to Everton as Alan Myers shares what David Moyes thinks of the Tottenham forward.
The Toffees seem to be in desperate need of a new number nine, with Beto the only fit striker at Goodison Park right now, and the Guinea-Bissau international is exceeding expectations at the moment.
Moyes has been unable to rely on Dominic Calvert-Lewin due to his injury, and the Englishman could soon leave as his contract expires at the end of the season.
Armando Broja will also likely return to Chelsea after his loan move expires, making attacking reinforcements arguably a priority for the Blues.

Richarlison’s return to the Merseyside outfit would be an interesting prospect, Alan Myers says.

The Sky Sports journalist believes Moyes is a big fan of the Brazilian forward who has struggled to make a mark since his move to Spurs.

Myers isn’t sure, though, whether the 27-year-old who left the Toffees in 2022 will make a return next summer.
The journalist wrote on X (7 March): “Would certainly be interesting [Richarlison returning]. I think Moyes likes him as a player. Not sure if it happens, to be honest.”

Goodison Park remembers Richarlison fondly
It isn’t surprising to see Richarlison being linked with a return to Goodison after his contributions at the Blues during the four-year stint.
The 27-year-old developed into the Merseyside outfit’s talisman after signing from Watford, and it made sense for a top club like Tottenham to be interested in him.
While the Brazil international was a hero at the Toffees, he has failed to fulfil the expectations at the North London outfit.
While injuries haven’t helped Richarlison’s cause at Spurs, his overall impact during games in N17 has been negligent.
The 27-year-old may be looking to move to more familiar surroundings, which could present the Blues with an opportunity.
Moyes will undoubtedly be concerned about the former Fluminense striker’s consistent fitness issues at Tottenham, but there’s no doubt he has immense talent.
If the Merseyside outfit can sign the centre-forward for a decent fee, they should take it with both hands.
Whether a move for Richarlison materialises in the coming months remains to be seen.
