# Everton: Richarlison offered to Arsenal

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) striker Richarlison is ‘likely’ to leave the club and could join fellow [Premier League](https://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league) side Arsenal this summer, transfer insider Dean Jones has told [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87999529-arsenal-offered-chance-to-bring-50m-striker-to-the-emirates).**

### The lowdown

The Toffees agreed a fee which could rise to [£50m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44946473) to sign the player from Watford in the summer of 2018, when Marco Silva [was in charge](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44946473), but the Brazil international may now be looking to make a step up after Frank Lampard’s team hit relegation trouble. With just six games of the season remaining, they find themselves two points off 17th place.

Arsenal [have been also linked](https://theathletic.com/3089372/2022/01/25/arsenal-pushing-to-sign-calvert-lewin-isak-or-vlahovic-before-mondays-deadline/) with Richarlison’s fellow Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is supposedly one of the Gunners’ ‘primary targets’ during the January transfer window.

### The latest

Jones has said that a move to the Emirates Stadium could be on the cards for Richarlison, who seems poised to exit Goodison Park in the summer.

The journalist told [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87999529-arsenal-offered-chance-to-bring-50m-striker-to-the-emirates): “I think Arsenal definitely have a possibility of signing Richarlison. They know that he could leave Everton and is likely to leave Everton in the summer. They’ve been offered the chance to sign him.”

### The verdict

How much would Everton miss Richarlison?

On the one hand, he is their [top scorer this season](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/everton/top-scorers), netting eight goals along with providing four assists. If they are to avoid the drop, then you’d imagine that he would have a significant part to play.

On the other hand, there are many who are underwhelmed with the 24-year-old.

For instance, [Stan Collymore](https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/03/23/stan-collymore-takes-completely-unfair-swipe-at-richarlison-as-he-looks-to-quit-everton/) has said that he is still ‘waiting’ for the player to deliver a truly ‘great season’, and Brazilian journalist Marco Scimpolo has dubbed him ‘[average](https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2021/10/15/richarlison-marcio-spimpolo-instagram.htm?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social-media&utm_content=geral&utm_campaign=esporte)‘.

Furthermore, some have questioned his attitude, with Newcastle World’s Jordan Cronin calling his behaviour during Sunday’s Merseyside derby defeat [’embarrassing’](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/liverpool-2-0-everton-richarlison-anthony-gordon/).

Either way, a big decision awaits the Everton board if Arsenal are truly serious about a move for Richarlison.
