Antonio Conte and all connected with Tottenham will have their fingers crossed that they see the real Richarlison in action once the Champions League resumes on Tuesday evening. Joining the club in a £60million deal from Everton in the summer, the Brazilian has showed glimpses of his quality but a couple of injury issues have unfortunately restricted his playing time.
The hero in their first Champions League game of the season as he struck a late double in the 2-0 win over Marseille, the 25-year-old has yet to find the net for his new club since that September evening at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Offering Conte plenty of options in attack as he can operate from either flank or play a No.9 just as he does on international duty for Brazil, Spurs are still trying to find the best role for the new addition.
Although he mainly operates from the left, Glenn Hoddle would like to see Tottenham switch formation and play Richarlison as the central striker and have Harry Kane operating just behind him. The former Spurs boss also feels that a role on the right flank for the former Watford attacker could actually play into Pedro Porro's hands, as Richarlison's tendency to come inside would allow the Spaniard plenty of room down the right to attack.
