One of Everton’s favourite forwards of the last decade was signing autographs at their new home. His first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium had brought an assist and a win. Sadly for the Evertonians who asked Richarlison to sign their shirts, he is now a Tottenham forward. He set up a goal for a Senegalese: but Pape Matar Sarr, not Iliman Ndiaye.
Richarlison was not exactly a 21st-century Dixie Dean in his time at Everton but he spent four seasons at Goodison Park and reached double figures for Premier League goals in three of them. And since his left in 2022, his sale enforced by Everton’s lack of funds and fears about failing Financial Fair Play, no one has.
