Marco Silva says new Everton signing Richarlison will “make our squad more competitive”.
Richarlison joined from Watford in a £40million deal on Tuesday.
The Brazilian is Everton’s first signing of the summer, and links up again with Silva after their brief time together at Watford last season.
The Everton boss is happy to have finally landed his man.
“He is one more player who can help us,” Silva said.
“He is a good player who will make our team and our squad more competitive.
“The competition between our players is really important to me. This is what will make us better as a club, always that competition within the squad.
“The player himself is fast, strong, very good technically and he can play in three positions across the front line. He can also score goals.
“Evertonians will see a player who will be 100 per cent committed to helping our team always.”
