What The Papers Say - 10 February

The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.

Monday’s Daily Star features Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti, with the Italian declaring in-form forward Richarlison boasts the ability to become “world class”.

The Brazilian struck his 11th goal of the season as the Blues beat Crystal Palace 3-1 on Saturday to move up to seventh in the Premier League table.

“Richarlison is young, he has to improve, he has to play with more consistency but he shows fantastic quality at counter attack, as a striker,” Ancelotti said.

“He can be a world-class player, it depends only on him.”

The Liverpool Echo carries quotes from Richarlison’s strike partner Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has explained his hunger to continue scoring goals after notching his 13th of the campaign in the win over Palace.

"I'm disappointed when I don't score these days and that's just the life of a striker,” he said. "Thankfully I've been hitting the back of the net consistently and enjoying my football and that's the main thing.”

Djibril Sidibe, meanwhile, salutes the backing of Everton’s “top fans” in the local read.

"It's a great team to play for, and the fans are absolutely excellent,” said Sidibe, in an interview that originally featured in the Everton matchday programme.

“They are top fans. They support us brilliantly here at Goodison Park and on the road.”

Back to the Daily Star, and the paper suggests Everton could be interested in signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Rafael Camacho.

The 19-year-old is also rumoured to be attracting the attention of Manchester United.
