Arsenal may just sign Everton’s Richarlison

Everton could be forced to sell either Richarlison or Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer following the release of their recent financial accounts.

Both of the Toffees’ forwards are being linked with transfers to the Emirates as Mikel Arteta tries to bolster his front line.

Arsenal are poised to lose Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah on free transfers, so offensive reinforcements this summer appear to be unavoidable.

There is truth to the speculations linking Everton’s Richarlison to a summer move to Arsenal.

The Brazilian has been a bright shining light for the Merseyside club since joining from Watford in 2018 for a fee of £50 million, but with the club having fallen to within touching distance of the relegation zone rather than challenging for European places, you could forgive him for thinking about his future.

With only two years remaining on his current contract, it appears like the best time for his club to cash in on his signing, as his worth is expected to fall as he nears the conclusion of his term.

While Arsenal would love to sign Richarlison to lead the line, the question on everyone’s lips is what his ideal role would be. He can play center-forward, which is where he would most likely play if Arsenal signed him, but you could argue that his finest performances come when he plays as the second striker.

However, under Arsenal’s system, I believe he could thrive as the team’s main outlet in front of goal, and even if we had to pay £50 million for his signing, we believe he could still prove to be a steal.
