Chelsea set to sign £50m to secure South America striker

Chelsea is reportedly willing to make a bid to secure the services of a 25-year-old Brazil international, who plays as a striker for Everton this summer, according to reports.

The 25-year-old South American playmaker has been in a stunning form for Everton since he joined them and has been able to attract interest from top European clubs, owning to his impressive performance for the Merseyside Blues in the last season.

Chelsea will be in the market in search of an attacking reinforcement as they plan to find a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who has been tipped to be playing for Inter Milan on loan in the next season.

According to The Sun, Chelsea has identified 25-year-old Richarlison as a potential transfer target and they are reportedly ready to make a £50million bid to land the signature of the striker come summer.

Richarlison was instrumental for Everton during the last season in escaping relegation to the Championship as he was able to find the back of the net 10 times in 30 Premier League appearances last season.
