Marco Silva addresses Richarlison rumours as Chelsea linger

Watford boss Marco Silva is not worried about the immediate future of Brazilian youngster Richarlison, amid interest from Chelsea and Spurs.

The London Evening Standard reports that both clubs are keeping tabs on the player, who has impressed since joining Watford this summer.

The Blues were linked with a move to sign Richarlison over the summer from Fluminense, but the player opted for Watford.

In 14 league appearances, this season the 20-year-old has scored five goals and registered four assists, which sparked rumours suggesting the player could be on the move in January.

Spurs have been linked with a move for the Brazilian which could see Georges-Kevin Nkoudou move in the opposite direction.

Silva, who himself has been a managerial target for Everton in recent weeks, says it is important for Watford to keep their best players at the club.

For us as a club it is important to keep our best players. It’s normal. We know our players are doing well and some are improving a lot. It’s normal other clubs pay attention to them. After it’s that it’s the club’s decision. The owner will decide what is best.
