However, Richarlison - who arrived from Watford for £35 million in the 2018 - has been linked with an exit from Goodison Park this summer.

The 25-year-old is a target for Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, according to the Daily Mail.

Speaking to Globo Esporte in his native Brazil, Richarlison admitted he's spoken to the Everton hierarchy and manager Frank Lampard.

And he's likely to decide his future next month.

What’s been said

Richarlison said: "I’ve already made it clear to the board, I’ve already talked to Lampard too, with my managers and they know what I want. Let’s wait for June.

“Now I can’t talk, because when I talk about leaving a club I’m kind of like this, because of the history I have at Everton, the affection that the fans have for me, when I talk about leaving I’m kind of speechless.”
