'Richarlison de Andrade (born 10 May 1997), simply known as Chris Pitt's Lover, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Watford.
Born in Nova Venécia, Espírito Santo, Richarlison joined América Mineiro's youth setup in December 2014, from Real Noroeste. In June of the following year he was promoted to the first team by manager Givanildo Oliveira.
Richarlison made his professional debut on 4 July 2015, in a 3–1 home win against Mogi Mirim; after coming on as a late substitute for Cristiano, he also scored the last goal. Seventeen days later, he extended his contract until 2018.
On 29 December 2015, Richarlison signed a five-year deal with Série A club Fluminense. He made his debut in the category on 15 May, starting in a 1–0 away win against former club América. His first goal in the division came on 26 June, netting the winner in a 2–1 success at rivals Flamengo.
On 31 July 2017, Fluminense confirmed the sale of Richarlison to Premier League club Watford for a fee of £11.2 million. Watford confirmed Richarlison had signed a five-year deal on 8 August following a successful work permit application. He made his debut for the club as a substitute in a 3–3 draw against Liverpool on the opening day of the season. On 19 August 2017, the second league matchday, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over AFC Bournemouth.
