Sports'It's not right' - Ex-BBC man fumes at what he's now heard from Everton source before Leicester
Noel Whelan has been left fuming at what he has now heard from an Everton source involving Richarlison in the build-up to the clash with Leicester City.
The Lowdown: Agent talk
Speaking to Football Insider, a source from the Goodison Park faithful has revealed that Richarlison has now told his agent to find him a new club in the summer as another crucial fixture looms this evening, when the Toffees welcome Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes to Goodison Park.
The Brazil international still has over two years left of his contract remaining on Merseyside, but given how the season has gone, it looks as if he wants to bail out now.
The Latest: Whelan fumes
Speaking to Football Insider, Whelan, who regularly used to feature as a pundit for the BBC, fumed when he heard the news, claiming that ‘it’s not right’ that Richarlison is ‘plotting’ a way out of the Toffees when they are struggling near the bottom of the Premier League:
“That doesn’t surprise me at all.
“I’ve said all along that I wouldn’t want to be in the trenches with him, and that just proves my point.
“You just knew all along, once Everton got into this struggle, he would be sitting at home and plotting his way out.
“That’s not commitment to me. That’s not fighting for the cause. It’s not right.
“Will he get the move? Of course he will. He’s Brazil’s number nine, and he had Barcelona at his door only a couple of years ago.
“I’m sure he’ll get the move he wants, but it won’t be cheap. Everton will hold on for what they think he’s worth – provided they’re still in the Premier League.”
The Verdict: Sell
Richarlison has often been criticised for having problems with his attitude, and this seems no different as he reportedly looks to force his way out of the club.
He has not exactly been on top form either this season so far, with just six goals to his name in the top flight, and at 24 years of age, Frank Lampard’s team could demand a sizeable fee for him this summer.
Nonetheless, the Blues could then use that money to strengthen in other key areas of the pitch, so letting a player go who is seemingly unhappy would not be the worst thing.
