Everton boss Frank Lampard concedes Richarlison isn't a centre-forward.
Richarlison has been required to fill the central role but it does not play to his strengths and the impact substitution of Salomon Rondon to help secure a late draw against Leicester on Wednesday may give Lampard something to think about.
“He showed an ability to hold the ball up and be involved in the goal and I knew he has that," said the manager ahead of tomorrow's derby with Liverpool.
“He is a smart player, good player with a great work ethic. It is a great option.
“With Richy (Richarlison), if you look at the modern-day number nine, it is different to years ago. Dominic maybe is nearer to that old one.
“Richarlison can do that role for us but he can also work off the left, as an inside-left as much as a wide man.
“It is a real beauty to have players across the front line who can be versatile."
