RICHARLISON has admitted he’s struggled with English food since his move to the Premier League… but things have been easier to swallow by his love of British girls!
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top after he was signed twice by manager Marco Silva, first for Watford, and then for Everton last summer.

The Brazilian forward dazzled in his first season in England, convincing the Toffees to splash out £40million to bring him to Goodison Park.
Despite this, Richarlison has revealed how much he struggled with adapting to the weather and local food while playing for the Hornets.
He told France Football via SportWitness: “The first year in England was really complicated. I couldn’t adapt to the temperature.
“On the pitch, my legs were shaking, my ears were burning.

“My culinary culture is so different from English cuisine that I really can’t get used to what we eat here. When I arrived at Watford, I lost about five pounds because I didn’t like local food.”
However, Richarlison did go on to list the benefits of living in both London and then Liverpool, admitting he loves the girls in England.
He added: “There is a lot of friendliness and people are educated. And then the girls are very pretty!”
SunSport revealed last month that Everton have slapped a £100m price-tag on Richarlison – with Barcelona eyeing a shock move this summer.
The ex-Watford ace scored 17 times in all competitions and attracted interest from across Europe including from the Spanish giants.
But it is understood he does not want to leave the Premier League and is now settled into English life – putting Manchester United on red alert.
Meanwhile, PSG and Atletico Madrid sent scouts to watch him during the season, but have yet to make a move.
