Richarlison has become a surprise summer target for Premier League giants Chelsea, as they look to make reinforcements in their attacking line next season.

But it is understood that Everton want a staggering £80million for the Brazilian international who has lived up to the billing this season.

And according to the Star, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid are keeping a close eye on the 21-year-old.

The former Watford striker joined the Merseysiders last summer in a deal worth £40million as he reunited with former boss Marco Silva.

Richarlison has scored ten Premier League goals in his debut season with the Toffees including a double against Wolves.

He has also earned a national call up and made his debut against the United States and four days later, scoring his first international goal for Brazil against El Salvador.

But he has been dipped in form in recent weeks with Marco Silva dropping him to the bench against Manchester City in midweek.

Richarlison returned to Silva's starting XI against his former club Watford but was substituted in the 66th minute after failing to impress.

Reports claim the Merseyside club are still pleased with him despite his below par performances and are getting ready for a potential transfer in the summer.

Silva's job is currently under threat following poor string of results and Richarlison could be tempted to leave if the Portuguese manager is sacked.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported N'Golo Kante could be snapped by Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain as reports claim the French side are willing to hand him an open cheque.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has played the France international outside his favourite defensive midfield position into a more deeper role going forward.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
