Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti tips 'complete' Richarlison to become 'one of the TOP strikers in Europe' as he hopes in-form Brazilian can guide Toffees into the Champions League

Carlo Ancelotti wants Richarlison to lead Everton into the Champions League and has predicted his in-form striker will become one of the best in Europe.

The Brazil international is on a run of five goals in five games, the last of which carried huge importance against Southampton on Monday. That 1-0 win has kept Everton firmly on course to be involved in the fight for a top four-place at the end of the season.

Ancelotti is firm in his belief that Richarlison has untapped potential and though he wouldn't compare him to any of the great strikers he has worked with, Everton's manager is adamant he has the qualities to one day be spoken of in that bracket.
