Carlo Ancelotti has praised former Everton fans' favourite Richarlison, insisting the Brazilian international is currently one of the best forwards in world football.
Having spent time together at Goodison Park during the Italian's short tenure in charge of the Blues, Richarlison has since been linked with a move to Real Madrid, despite only signing for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer. And his reputation is only growing further after helping Brazil into the World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar.
Bidding to help the Selecao claim a fifth World Cup success, Richarlison and Co face Croatia in today's first last-eight tie. The 25-year-old is expected to lead the line for Brazil again after scoring his third goal of the tournament in the round-of-16 drubbing of South Korea.
