Chelsea reportedly among top European clubs targeting Richarlison; Everton value star at £80million

Chelsea are reportedly one of several European giants currently monitoring Everton forward Richarlison.

Maurizio Sarri’s men have been previously linked with a move for the versatile attacker – who can play as both a left winger and a centre forward – on multiple occasions, though nothing came of the speculation.

Now however, it’s claimed by The Daily Star that Chelsea, PSG, Milan and Atletico Madrid are all watching Richarlison closely.

Everton are understood to value the Brazilian at £80million, having paid £50million to sign him from Watford in July.

The Blues may be in need of a new forward in the summer, should star man Eden Hazard opt to leave and head to Real Madrid, rather then sign a new contract extension.

So far in his debut season at Goodison Park, Richarlison has scored ten goals in 24 Premier League games.

He’s featured mainly in his preferred position at left wing, but also regularly filled in up front due to Cenk Tosun’s poor form.
