Arsenal’s need for a new striker has been well documented, with their lack of goals a major factor why the club are not higher up the table currently.
Among the names heavily linked with them has been Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, bit now it is his team mate Richarlison, who is the latest subject of interest for them, according to reports.
The Brazilian scored the equaliser for the Toffees against the Gunners on Monday night, as Rafa Benitez’s side came from behind wo win their Premier League clash.
Whilst the not prolific of strikers, Richarlison is prized for his dynamism and aggression, and thrives in physical, fast paced football.
He is still only 24 years old, so fits the age profile that the club are now looking to recruit, and he has plenty of Premier League experience already, having played one season with Watford, before joining Everton in the summer of 2018.
