EVERTON FC SIGNS BRAZILIAN FROM WATFORD IN 50MILLION POUNDS DEAL

Everton have signed Brazilian winger Richarlison from fellow Premier League side Watford in a potential £50m deal.
The Toffees are believed to have paid an initial £35m for the 21-year-old - who has signed a five-year contract - with clauses that could make him the club's record signing.
Everton boss Marco Silva was managing Watford when they signed Richarlison for £11.5m from Fluminense in 2017.
"I want to have a lot of success with Everton," said Richarlison.
"I think it is going to be important for me to be with Marco Silva again. I will learn more because I am still learning as a player and I aim to develop and grow here.
"I developed really well with him while he was with me at Watford. It was really good working with him and one day I believe he can help me to be selected for Brazil in the full national team.
"Everton have put their faith in me and I intend to honour this shirt and demonstrate on the pitch why I came here. I want my dreams to become a reality here at one of the biggest clubs in England."
Richarlison scored five goals in his first 12 Premier League matches but has not netted since November.
Silva has been keen to take him to Everton since he succeeded the sacked Sam Allardyce on 31 May.
"Richarlison is a good player who will make our team and our squad more competitive," said Silva. "The competition between our players is really important to me.
"The player himself is fast, strong, very good technically and he can play in three positions across the front line. He can also score goals."
The Merseyside club's record signing is Gylfi Sigurdsson, who joined from Swansea in August 2017 for £45m.

GW7 ONES TO WATCH;SEAN MORRISON

Sean Morrison (£4.9m) Cardiff City may not have started the season as strongly as they would have liked but they do possess a centre-half who is making an impact in both defence and attack. Morrison helped his side to clean sheets against Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town over Gameweeks 2 to 3. He followed that up with back-to-back assists against Arsenal and Chelsea. Major threat The 27-year-old boasted a fine record in last season's Championship. He scored seven goals and recorded a total of 50 shots on goal. Although he has yet to score this term, Morrison has carried a major threat for the Bluebirds. Chance creator No Cardiff player has bettered his totals of seven chances created and two big chances. A big chance is a situation where the player receiving the pass is expected to score. Morrison's aerial threat can be decisive against visitors Burnley this Sunday. He has won 37 headed duels this season, more than any other defender. Claret concess...
