West Ham United boss David Moyes has told Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison he must be “prepared to take the hits” if he continues to showboat during matches.
The Brazilian international, who joined Spurs for a club-record £60million fee in the summer, sparked controversy during Antonio Conte’s side’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with the former Everton man ball juggling mid-game, leading to Brennan Johnson and Neco Williams bundling in on him withing seconds of him doing it, getting Johnson booked.
The incident has led to mass debate across the footballing world with Forest manager Steve Cooper describing it as disrespectful, which Spurs boss Conte disagreed with after the game at the City Ground.
