Everton forward Richarlison has been named as one of the possible options to replace Eden Hazard if the Belgian leaves the club at the end of the season.
The Toffees only signed the 21-year-old from Watford for £50m in the summer but the Blues are believed to have tracked the player since his time in Brazil.
Fans on Twitter don’t think Richarlison would be the answer if they need to go after a Hazard replacement:
Richarlison for Hazard has surely to be biggest downgrade ever. Nicolas pepe should be fine.

Other names that have been suggested include Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne, and Sevilla’s Pablo Sarabia who was reportedly recommended to the Blues by club scouts last month.
None of them are household names though with many keen for Chelsea to look higher up the market. Whether the likes of Isco, Sergio Asensio or Paulo Dybala are actually on the club’s radar, it is not known.
With all that being said, Hazard still hasn’t made his decision public about whether he is leaving Stamford Bridge.
