Everton star targets Champions League and Golden Boot

Richarlison has outlined his objectives for both Everton and Brazil going forward.

Everton signed Richarlison from Watford for around £40million this summer, and subsequently “spoiled” the transfer window.

The 21-year-old has started particularly well at Goodison Park however, scoring three goals in Everton’s opening two games.

Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane are the only two players who have been able to keep the pace at this nascent stage, and Richarlison has laid down a marker.

The Brazilian, key to the changes already implemented under Marco Silva, has set his sights high.

“I feel more prepared, I already know the rhythm and style of the Premier League, which helps me on the way to the achievements,” the 21-year-old told UOL.

“I want to be the top scorer of the league, take Everton back to the Champions League and reach the Brazilian national team.

“I was anxious during the call-ups on Friday. I watched with a lot of expectation, but sadly it wasn’t this time.

“Even so, I’m still hopeful and I want to be prepared if the opportunity arrives in the future.”
