Everton in talks over deal worth up to £50m for Richarlison - reports

Everton are reportedly in talks with Watford over a club-record transfer for Richarlison that could be worth up to £50 million.
Richarlison, 21, joined Watford last summer from Fluminense for a fee of around £11.5 million.
He scored five goals in his first 12 matches but failed to find the net after Marco Silva, now the Everton manager, left the Hornets in January.
Now the BBC and Sky Sports both report that Everton are in advanced talks with Watford over a potential move for the Brazilian.
Everton had initially been willing to pay £35 million but the reports say that clauses could take the deal up to £50 million.
Should the transfer reach that amount it would beat the £45 million the Toffees paid for Gylfi Sigurdsson last year.
