The Brazilian has had an interesting start to life at Spurs, but the Lilywhites do finally look to have found decent back-up for Harry Kane.
Richarlison has largely been used as a sub so far, but with Tottenham now playing a game every three or four days, he will likely see a lot more action in the coming months.
Ahead of Tottenham’s next outing, Harry Kane has been discussing his new forward partner and has been full of praise for him:
“He was brilliant,” said Kane, who moved level with Thierry Henry as the top scorer in Premier League London derbies, with 43.
“He has been doing great every time he came off the bench. He was ready once he started [a game] to make a real impact, and from start to finish he was fighting for every ball, making good runs and getting chances and unlucky not to score with the offside and one off the post.
“Brilliant to have him and he has to keep doing what he has been going and help the team as much as possible.

“He has definitely been doing that and he has been a great addition to the team, he needs to keep working hard.
“He came in for Kulu and they are different players as they play with different feet. Kulu likes to maybe come inside more and make crosses with his left and Richy I felt was maybe playing closer to me as a striker and linking up and making runs down the middle of the pitch.”
