Evertonians will have mixed feelings about Richarlison returning to the club, but the majority would surely welcome a reunion.
It’s set to be a summer fueled by transfer rumours surrounding the Brazilian, as Richarlison has been mooted for an Everton return
Now, this has appeared on several occasions, so whose to know what the Tottenham star wants to do with his future, but one thing is for sure and that’s his limited game time under Ange Postecoglou.

This has of course been due to his injury record, which may be the ultimate reason David Moyes chooses not to sign Richarlison.

However, Moyes is a fan of Richarlison, and what he did before joining Everton the first time around may just show why he’d make the sensational jump back to Merseyside.

What Richarlison did before joining Everton will surprise fans
The 27-year-old is certainly a character who would make for a brilliant signing as a new era begins at Bramley Moore-Dock.

His feelings were clear on Goodison Park, as Richarlison posted a classy message about Everton’s stadium.

But this all stemmed from when the Brazilian was a kid, as before joining the Toffees in 2018, Richarlison made an admission about the club to Everton’s media.

“I think it’s a club known to everybody, winner of several league titles,” Richarlison said.

“When I was youngster, I’d watch Everton games. I followed them a lot.

“We’d get a lot of Premier League games on TV back home, and Everton were on frequently, I’d always watch their games.”

Richarlison’s claim shows how he would make a return to Everton
It’s rare these days to find a former player who still keeps tabs on his former club, but Richarlison hasn’t stopped showing admiration for the Toffees.

The forward knew he had found his dream club when he made the move to Everton from Watford, and as a young Brazilian kid, the team you watch growing up sticks with you.

You can still clearly see that Richarlison has a lot of love for Everton, and that has never been lost.

This goes both ways, as Everton fans want a Richarlison return, and if the 27-year-old thinks back to what made him fall in love with football, that could play a strong part in him returning to play under Moyes.

Now in the prime of his career, the Spurs attacker will want to be at a club where he feels comfortable, which he certainly doesn’t at Tottenham this season after just 14 appearances.

He needs to be playing his best football, and for Richarlison, there is no better place than Everton.
