As Everton star Richarlison can probably attest to, the demands of learning a new language can be tough for football players attempting to perfect their craft on foreign shores.

But if enough work and commitment is put into the process, then the rewards both on and off the field are enormous.

Did he really play for us?! No Everton fan has managed to name all of these obscure Toffees players....

And for Richarlison, that hard work is already paying off.

Not only is the young forward bagging goals left and right for Everton - having already scored a total of 11 goals and assisting four in the 2019/20 season - he's also showing the willingness to improve his English.

The latest update of his studies had the fans absolutely buzzing and urging him to keep going...

And this commitment he's showing is directly mirroring his performances, as one fan has already noted, and this can only serve to ultimately make him a better player and a better teammate to his fellow Toffees.

One other supporter already sees him as someone who's top of the class just for the effort he's putting in...

Finally, it's fair to say that not only is he improving himself, he's also setting an example for professionals - not just footballers - far and wide who move overseas in search of employment.

Credit where it's due.
