Richarlison sends brilliant message to Lucas Digne as Everton exit nears

Richarlison has sent a brilliant message to Lucas Digne as he nears Everton exit to join AstonVilla.

The left-back is set to join Villa for a reported fee of £25 million (Sky Sports). He was due in Birmingham on Wednesday for a medical.

Digne has penned an emotional post explaining that he was sad about the way things panned out for him.

Everton forward, Richarlison, responded to his post with a brilliant message: "Good luck my brother."

Sad end

Digne aimed a finely veiled dig at Rafa Benitez in his post saying people from outside are destroying the beautiful bonding.

It was suggested otherwise that Digne asked to leave Everton after falling out with the Spanish manager.

The Toffees have signed Ukraine left-back Vitaly Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson already, and it paved the way for Digne’s departure.

Everton were clear from the beginning that they won’t accept any loan offers, nor would they entertain any swap deals.

Villa came up with a good offer for Digne, and it suits all parties involved.

It is useless now to discuss who is right in this situation. Is Digne speaking the truth? Was Benitez right?

The key here is it’s a sad end. Digne did a good job at the club, and it’s unfortunate that it didn’t work out with Benitez.

Everton are looking to sign Anwar El Ghazi on loan from Aston Villa.
