Do Everton want to re-sign Richarlison in January?

Whether Everton want to sign Richarlison in January has been the subject of questions sent in via our 'Ask about Everton' form, so we put it to BBC Radio Merseyside reporter Giulia Bould for her perspective.

The story about a possible return to Everton for Richarlison does the rounds every transfer window - and it is easy to see why.

He remains a fan favourite. Many supporters were devasted when he was sold to Tottenham for profit and sustainability rules (PSR) reasons in the summer of 2022.

The forward scored 53 goals in all competitions with the Toffees during his four-year spell and it is not hard to see why he is still loved.

The player himself has also made it clear he adores Everton and often posts on his social media about his former side. So could a return actually happen?

Well, this claim was around at the end of last season and, when asked directly, David Moyes made it clear it was not something he was looking at: "Richarlison is a really good player and someone I've liked. But I can tell you there is zero truth in that from my side."

However, since then goals have been hard to come by. The manager's strikeforce of Beto and Thierno Barry have scored just one goal between them so far this campaign in the Premier League, so it might be time for Moyes to think again.

The Blues boss has already stated he will look at strengthening his squad in January but he also warned it is a notoriously difficult window to operate in, with prices often hiked up.

A loan could be a good fit for Everton if Spurs were open to it. The Brazil international has made just four league starts this term but there is no suggestion right now that they would be willing to let the 28-year-old go.

A Richarlison return would be a feel-good story, but right now there is no indication from either club it will happen. As ever though in football, things change very quickly so this could be a different story again come Christmas!
