Everton fans exploded in delight as Richarlison committed his future to the club by signing a new contract that will see him remain at Goodison Park until the summer of 2024.
The Brazil international signed for £50m from Watford in 2018 and has become a fan favourite since his arrival from Vicarage Road.
Richarlison told the club’s official website that he intends to stay at the club for a long time and wants to repay the club who allowed him to showcase his football.
He has scored four goals in 14 Premier League appearances for the Blues this season, raising his total to 20 in 55 outings.
Thank you for your trust and love @Everton and all evertonians! It’s a pleasure and an honor to be able to wear this shirt and to know that we can have an even longer journey together. Love you all! 💙 pic.twitter.com/ybgV8IILKJ
