Many Everton fans have been left buzzing over some comments made by Richarlison.

Speaking to the official website of the Goodison Park faithful, the former Watford ace has now claimed that he wants to become a legend at the Merseyside club: "What I want most of all, is to become a legend here. I'm so proud to see the fans with my banner, with my name on their shirts. It's been a great start and I hope it continues so I can become an Everton idol.”

Richarlison was subject of speculation by a number of reports that he could leave in the summer transfer window, but now it looks like he has committed his future to Rafa Benitez's team for the long-term.

The Brazil international has been such a key player for the Blues since he joined them, and his latest attitude is something that has drawn a lot of praise from Toffees supporters.

Nonetheless, just coming back to full fitness, he will hope that he can have another successful season with EFC.
