Richarlison

The Brazilian forward signed with Watford for a then club record fee of £11.2 million in July this year.  The speedy winger netted his first goal in his first start in a 2-0 away win at Bournemouth.

In his two starts as a Premier League player, the youngster has already shown snippets of class and the talent he clearly possesses. There’s a raw element to his game and he seems to throw himself into everything, and he will push between the lines whilst working off the runs of his fellow pacey forwards in Andre Gray and Andre Carillo.

The Southampton full-backs will be in for a long game if he is on the top of his form.
