Richarlison has proved the difference maker from the substitutes' bench on more than one occasions already for Tottenham this season. The Brazilian was a £60million summer signing from Everton and is already beginning to repay that big fee.
Many pundits were left questioning the outlay on a player that might struggle to get into Tottenham's starting lineup, given last season's form of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski. And while Richarlison has not yet been given a start by Antonio Conte, he has proved to be money well spent, changing the game against Chelsea as Spurs recovered from 2-1 down to snatch a late draw and setting up Harry Kane for the second goal in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The Brazilian flair player will be champing at the bit to get his first start in the Lilywhites' shirt, and that opportunity may come sooner rather than later. Premier League games are coming thick and fast and they will be interspersed with Champions League matches, with that competition to start next week too.
