Former Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley has admitted he did not expect Richarlison to become a "top, top player" but has revealed how left his former Watford team-mates speechless after his first training session in 2017.
Richarlison, who made the move from Goodison Park to Tottenham Hotspur in a £60m deal in the summer, continued his remarkable form on the international stage on Thursday as Brazil opened their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Serbia.
He fired both goals in the second half for Selecao, with his second coming via an outrageous overhead kick as Tite’s side searched for their answer to star man Neymar Jnr being withdrawn from action due to an ankle injury. It takes his tally to 19 goals in just 39 appearances for Brazil.
