His expertise and love affair with The Lilywhites makes him credible for such claims. Speaking on the podcast, Pitt-Brooke said Richarlison didn’t quite enjoy playing out of his natural position. His words:
“The confidence element is connected to the football element because he’s (Richarlison) always wanted to play as a number nine. Even when Harry Kane was at the club, he would get p—– off that he was not playing as a centre forward.”

Coming to the man of the hour, Richarlison is a risk-taker, period! Moving to a club that has someone like Harry Kane in the ‘number 9’ role, is a scary factor for any centre-forward; but, Richarlison took the chance. The first season might have made him regret his choice, however, fortune does favour the brave.
He is without a doubt the most in-form player within Spurs’ ranks. Now, comparing him with Harry Kane already is a mistake that the fans and pundits should avoid. We aren’t talking about anyone else here. It is HARRY KANE! The man who ruled the Premier League season after season when it came to goal-scoring.

Richarlison’s current form deserves a comparison to the club’s legend. However, he will have to walk the long road aka consistency before being adjudged as Kane’s replacement.
