Everton forward Richarlison has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed another stellar season with the Toffees during the 2021-22 campaign, finding the back of the net on 11 occasions in 33 appearances, in addition to contributing five assists.
Meanwhile, the Brazil international has scored 53 goals and provided 14 assists in 152 outings for the Merseyside giants since joining the club from Watford in July 2018.
He still has more than two years left on his contract at the Goodison Park, but there have been rumours that the striker will attempt to force a move away from the Merseyside outfit this summer.
Spurs have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian, as head coach Antonio Conte looks to bolster his attack during this summer’s transfer window.
However, according to Sky Sports News, there is also firm interest from Chelsea, with the Blues weighing up making an offer for the South American in the current market.
The report adds that Chelsea view him as a potential replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who is set to return to Inter Milan on loan.
Richarlison has scored five goals and registered five assists in 41 appearances for Watford ahead of a move to Everton, and he has a record of 48 goals and 18 assists in 173 English top flight games.
