Everton forward Richarlison has emerged as a rumoured transfer target for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp has reportedly met with the player's agent.

Eyebrows were raised last July when the Toffees splashed out a reported £35m to sign the 21-year-old from Watford, where he started strongly before fading in his debut Premier League campaign.

Richarlison has started to pay off that large fee, though, thanks to 12 goals and an assist in his 30 top-flight appearances for Everton.

The ex-Fluminense youngster's form has earned him eight caps for the Brazil national side and, according to reports in Brazil, he is attracting interest from city rivals Liverpool.

UOL Esporte suggests that Richarlison's agent Renato Velasco recently visited Klopp's home, with the discussions believed to have centred around the Everton star - Velasco's only Europe-based player.

Klopp heaped praise on Richarlison, also a rumoured target for Barcelona, before December's Merseyside derby.
