Richarlison lambasted over ‘disgusting’ update on Everton future, ‘you don’t say that’ – pundit
The latest update on Richarlison’s Everton future is “disgusting”.
That’s according to former Leeds United stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 25-year-old’s future.
On 21 June, The i reported that Richarlison wants to move to a “bigger club” this summer.
A source told the site “he needs to be at a club of the highest standard”.
According to The Athletic‘s David Ornstein (11 June), Spurs are interested in signing the Brazilian this summer though Everton will demand £51million.
Kenny insists Everton may struggle to find a buyer for Richarlison due to his on-field antics.
“If he has said he wants to move to a bigger club then that’s disgusting,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“When you are already at a club. We all might be thinking that but you don’t say that, you don’t let it get to the papers.
“On signing him, he’s not Mo Salah, he doesn’t get those numbers. He does produce now and again, would he be better in another side? Only a move will tell us that.
“Clubs could be put off signing him because of the way he acts, it will be interesting to see if he gets that move.”
Richarlison scored 10 goals in 30 Premier League appearances during the 2021-22 campaign.
He joined the Toffees in July 2018 for a fee that could rise to £50million, as per BBC Sport.
