Everton

In a search for a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replacement, Arsenal may well look for an attacker who is comfortable at playing both out wide and as a centre-forward, showcasing the dribbling skills of a natural winger alongside the natural knack for goalscoring of a striker. Throw in the desire to find a young player who offers resale value and longevity and Richarlison might be the best target in the Premier League.

The Brazilian has been superb for Everton this season. He has scored ten goals, added three assists, and has developed a dangerous partnership with Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the dual-headed attack under Carlo Ancelotti. In this system, Richarlison will frequently drift wide, receiving the ball away from the opposing centre-backs with time and space to turn and drive into. He averaged 3.5 dribble attempts per 90 minutes.

Perhaps most excitingly, however, Richarlison is only 22 years old. He arrived at Watford and flourished there, is now replicating the same form at Everton, and still has plenty of room to grow and develop. The only problem? Cost. Everton signed Richarlison for a rather extortionate £50 million. They would expect hefty profit on that.
