Richarlison has managed to revive his Tottenham Hotspur career under Thomas Frank this season
Tottenham forward Richarlison is finally managing to prove his worth at N17 following a successful start to the new season. The Brazil international has been in the media headlines for all the right reasons in recent weeks, and fans will hope that this trend continues for as long as possible.

The Danish tactician has clearly indicated that he considers the prolific striker to be a key part of the squad, and hopes to bring the 28-year-old back to his best this season. The Brazil international was on the front page of all the newspapers after managing to grab a brace against Burnley in the first Premier League game of the season.

Tottenham star Richarlison has endured a solid start to the new Premier League campaign.
His stellar performance against the Clarets also meant that he was trusted to start again versus Manchester City. And he repaid Thomas Frank’s faith in him by providing an assist for Brennan Johnson’s goal. Now, the Spurs No.9 will hope to keep Dominic Solanke out of the team for the time being as he looks to form a strong partnership with Mohammed Kudus and Brennan Johnson up top.

“Since I got here, every time the transfer window opens, my name is circled as one who could leave – going back to Brazil or wherever.”
The Brazilian added,
“But I’ve always been focused on Tottenham and I’ve never had a conversation about leaving. I’m in a good moment. I hope to continue working hard and getting the opportunity to give my best.”
Richarlison admitted that he has been linked with a move away from Tottenham at every given chance during the previous transfer windows. However, the Brazilian has cleared the air by stating that he has never had any intentions of leaving N17 at any point of time. The 28-year-old is also keen to retain his place under Thomas Frank by performing well week in week out and working hard.
