According to a report from Sky Sports, Barcelona have apparently had an £85m offer turned down for Everton striker Richarlison – prompting a huge debate on Twitter between Premier League fans after a Toffees account compared this news to the reported £80m valuation of Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
A report from the Daily Mail back in December revealed that Crystal Palace will ‘stand firm‘ over their valuation of Wilfried Zaha, with Everton fan account @CarloMagnifico drawing parallels between the Ivorian’s price tag and Richarlison’s. As a result, Premier League supporters lashed out in debate, with the general consensus being that Zaha’s valuation is justified given the player’s superior ability. Similar to Richarlison, the 27-year-old can operate as a winger and a forward – though in terms of goals, the Toffees striker reigns supreme with eight strikes and three assists in the league this season. However, when it comes to take-ons, Zaha looks far more potent – averaging an impressive 5 completed dribbles per game while drawing a lot more fouls (3.1), as per WhoScored.com.
As a result, these football fans have been in full voice over comparing the price tags of each player – here’s what they had to say on Twitter:
Zaha is miles better than richarlison
