Tottenham star Richarlison has opened up on how his move to Spurs was influenced by a call with Antonio Conte after Arsenal and Chelsea both registered an interest in the Brazilian striker.
The top three London clubs all pursued a deal for Richarlison over the summer but it was the Lilywhites that pipped their rivals to securing a deal for the Brazil international. After a slow start to life at N17, Richarlison is now showing why Spurs paid £60million for his services after scoring two goals and providing two assists in eight appearances.
Conte was keen to add attacking reinforcements to his squad ahead of a hectic season as Spurs returned to Champions League action and looked to close the gap to Manchester City in the Premier League. The Brazilian is currently away on international duty and scored twice as his side beat Ghana 3-0 to continue their World Cup preparations.
