After Richarlison was pictured with his new pet in a Toffees club shirt, posted by Everton's official Twitter account, many supporters have jokingly lauded the image - with their second top scorer posing with his puppy dressed in blue. 

The Brazilian, who has scored nine goals and assisted three others for Everton in the Premier League this season, will be hoping to replicate his fine form when they take on Arsenal this Sunday at the Emirates Stadium. Since manager Carlo Ancelotti's appointment, Everton have lost just once in their last eight league games, with that defeat coming at the hands of current league champions Manchester City.

The Toffees have also won five of their last eight, including an impressive 3-2 comeback away to Watford. Compared to striking partner Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison hasn't managed the same amount of goals but does eclipse the Englishman in terms of shots per game (2.6) and key passes made (1.1), as per WhoScored.com - highlighting his impressive overall game so far this season.

In response to the 22-year-old's 'boss' picture with his new pet, many supporters have taken the opportunity to laud the image - with one fan in particular jokingly asking if his pup can 'play in a double-pivot'. Find all of their best comments down below.
