The 25-year-old scored 10 goals and provided five assists as he helped Everton avoid relegation last season.

Overall, he scored 43 goals in 135 league appearances for the Toffees after joining them from Watford in July 2018.

The versatile forward, born in Nova Venecia, started his youth career at Real Noroeste and América Futebol Clube before making his professional debut in July 2015.
