Watford star Richarlison ‘wants summer move away with Arsenal and Chelsea both in talks with his reps’
Brazilian striker is only earning £20,000-a-week and top English sides could massively boost that
WATFORD star Richarlison fancies a big-money switch to Arsenal or Chelsea but it’s ruled out until the summer, according to reports.
The Brazilian has been a pleasant surprise for Hornets fans this season, chipping in five league goals.
The 20-year-old looks a bargain after joining the Prem side from Fluminense for around £10million in the summer.
And the Watford Observer reports the Samba star is interested in moving clubs but Watford are in a strong position and will not cash-in during the winter window.
Richarlison is earning peanuts – compared to most Premier League strikers – a scandalous £20,000-a-week.
And any Champions League side interested in snapping him up could pay him as much as five times more to lure him away from Vicarage Road.
The forwards was tipped to make the Brazil squad for their friendly against England at Wembley in November.
But he missed out on the selection, despite being based just around the corner.

Since that November snub, the forward has failed to score, with a dozen games going by without a goal.
Richarlison said: "Teams are already marking me individually, they are putting two players there on my side.
"Unfortunately it’s difficult, but I’m doing what I can.
"I’m facing them, I’m making assists, I’m trying to score my goals.
“I’ll keep working to keep bringing the results."
