Watford star Richarlison will undergo a medical ahead of a £50m move to Everton in the next 24 hours, according to reports.

Sky Sports News say that a deal has been agreed between the two clubs, believed to be worth up to £50m.

Personal terms have also been agreed, and the Brazilian will now travel north for a medical.

Earlier on Sunday, Everton manager Marco Silva refused to be drawn on reports that a move was close to being completed.

“Of course I respect your question but I am here to talk about our players and the players signed with our club,” Silva told the Liverpool Echo.

“At this moment Richarlison is not our player and we have to respect that.

“He was my player last season but all I talk about is the players signed with Everton.”

In January, Richarlison was linked with a move to both Arsenal and Chelsea, and attracted interest from a number of top clubs after his first half of the season.
