It’s been quite the start by Everton this season, as the Toffees sit pretty in the Premier League, inspired by performances from a number of key players.

Among those key players is Brazilian forward, Richarlison. The former Watford man has been instrumental alongside Dom Calvert-Lewin up front, and looks to be fully fulfilling his massive potential.

A number of summer signings have also had a big impact. The likes of James Rodriguez, Allan, and Abdoulaye Doucoure all making fast starts at Goodison Park.

The 23-year-old, then, has been speaking to FIFA.com about his career and season so far. And when pressed on how things are at Everton, Richarlison pin-pointed Rodriguez as a key player, admitting anyone in the league would have him.

“He’s a very special talent. He’s the No10 for his national team, he’s got an outstanding pedigree – Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Porto. He’d walk into any team in the Premier League. I watch a lot of Premier League games – what team wouldn’t want James Rodriguez? He’s made a brilliant start at Everton, and I really hope it continues so we can achieve our targets this season.

Rodriguez scored twice last weekend and has added another dimension to the Toffees’ XI. After tricky spells with both Madrid and Bayern, it appears that Ancelotti is once again getting the best from the Colombian.

It seems to have taken loads of money and a few managerial changes but Everton might finally get it right this season.

The top four is certainly within reach so with that, surely winning the whole thing becomes a topic of discussion? Especially, with players like Rodriguez, Richarlison, and others all flying.

The next game against Liverpool will be a big test. If they come through that unscathed, then we might just have a Leicester-esque season on our hands!
