Brazilian · Nova Iguaçu, Brazil · Born 10 May 1997Brazilian forward known for acrobatic goals, pace, and versatility across the front line. Olympic gold medalist and Premier League scorer.
Richarlison de Andrade was born in Nova Venécia, Brazil in 1997. Watford signed him from Fluminense before Everton paid £35 million in 2018. His four Everton seasons produced 53 goals and three rescue acts on the final day that kept Everton in the Premier League. Tottenham paid £60 million for him in 2022. He won the Olympic gold medal with Brazil at Tokyo 2020. His bicycle kick goal against Serbia in the 2022 World Cup group stage — catching a cross with his back to goal and volleying overhead — was voted the tournament's best goal. He was Brazil's most passionate and physically committed forward. His goals for Everton in moments of genuine jeopardy — relegation battles, final-day drama — created a cult status at the club. He experienced racial abuse during international matches and was consistently vocal about it publicly. His combination of athleticism, competitive commitment and technical quality in the air makes him one of the most physically complete forwards in the Premier League.
