Richarlison suggests that he intends to remain at Everton for the foreseeable future after being provided with the chance to work under Carlo Ancelotti.

Richarlison has heaped praise on Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti, suggesting that he intends to remain at Goodison Park for the foreseeable future.

Having contributed 26 goals and six assists from 70 outings for the Toffees, speculation persists regarding a switch to a bigger club.

However, despite links with Barcelona during the previous transfer window, the Brazil international has indicated that he is committed to working under Ancelotti, whom he describes as one of the greatest managers of all time.

Speaking to Everton's official website, the 23-year-old said: "Carlo is one of the greatest of all time and it has been a privilege to work with him. I am learning a lot from him and I am sure we will achieve good things together.

"Ancelotti is one of the greatest coaches in history, in my opinion. I think the club has a lot to gain from him. He has a winning spirit and does not accept less than the maximum you can leave on the pitch.

"This mentality and the respect everyone has for him are very important and will help us a lot."

Richarlison still has four years remaining on his contract at the Merseyside outfit.
