Everton attacker Richarlison will prove his transfer fee to the Toffees according to his compatriot and former player Rivaldo...
Richarlison joined Everton from Watford this summer for a £40m price-tag, which many criticised at the time, but the Brazilian's great start to the season has left many viewers keeping their opinions to themselves.
Following his quick start at Goodison Park, it has earned him his first call-up to the Brazil national squad.
Brazil legend Rivaldo is confident that the new Everton man can prove his worth at the side and also become a success for his country.
"Nowadays it's hard to know if a player really deserves the money spent on him, because transfer values are high," Rivaldo told Sky Sports.
"I believe he'll justify the investment at Everton. He is making things happen. He's producing solid performances in the Premier League and is clearly a good player, with great potential that could be really important for Brazil soon."
Richarlison was facing a suspension for headbutting Bournemouth's Adam Smith and Rivaldo wants the player to control his emotions more.
"He was sent off after losing his temper and needs to understand that to become a top player he must relax and avoid this kind of behaviour," the former Brazil player said.
"I'm sure he will learn from this lesson, after all it was his mistake and he is the one that will suffer with that and he certainly won't repeat it again soon."
