Pundit claims £50m Everton star has ‘the connections’ to earn himself summer switch to Arsenal

Premier League title winner Tim Sherwood believes that Everton striker Richarlison has ‘the connections to get himself a move to Arsenal’.

The Toffees frontman, like his teammates, is staring down the barrel of potential relegation from the Premier League after Frank Lampard’s men dropped into the bottom three following a win for Burnley and their own defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.

Richarlison moved to Goodison Park in a £50million deal from Watford in 2018. However, given his current salary and status in the Brazil national team, there is little or no chance of the 24-year-old staying with Everton if they do go down.

To that end, Sherwood believes the attacker will be on the move, with the Gunners a viable destination.

“Would Richarlison stick around in the Championship?” asked Sherwood, speaking on Sky Sports News. “What about the rest of them?

“Doucoure is too good for that. All of them will feel they are too good for the Championship.

“They (Everton) might have to give them away for (little) because it depends on how the finances are at the club. They might have to give them away.

“I think Richarlison has a move in him. I think he has the connection to get himself a move to Arsenal or somewhere like that.

“People will look at him and think ‘in a better side, he might be able to step up’.”
