Richarlison wants to make it work at Tottenham and be a vital part of Thomas Frank’s setup
Tottenham forward Richarlison is in dazzling form right now as he started the new Premier League campaign with two sublime goals. The Brazil international has been in the media spotlight throughout the summer, linking him away from the North London club on various occasions. However, the 28-year-old is still at the club after everything that has happened and he is still looking to prove his worth at N17.
It is fair to say that the prolific striker has not managed to replicate the form that he showed during his time at Everton. Several injuries and availability issues have meant that Richarlison has fallen down the pecking order under various managers that have come and gone at N17. But the Brazilian is now hoping that he can finally get his Spurs career back on track under Thomas Frank.
There seems to be a mutual trust between Thomas Frank and Richarlison as of now. The Danish tactician has started with the ex-Everton star in his first two games of the season, indicating that he fully backs the forward to be a vital member of the team. And it is fair to say that the Brazilian has also taken notice of that and promised to repay the ex-Brentford manager’s faith.
Richarlison is still linked with a Tottenham exit despite brilliant performances
Tottenham forward Richarlison has started the new season brilliantly under Thomas Frank. The Brazil international looks energised and determined to prove his critics wrong this season. And it is fair to say that the fans are liking what they seeing from the 28-year-old. Brennan Johnson also praised the ex-Everton star’s grit, indicating that he hoped the forward continues performing well from now on.
However, Richarlison’s brilliant performance against Burnley has not stopped the transfer links from going anywhere. It was reported earlier that Spurs were looking to cash-in on the forward in the last few days of the transfer window to free up space for a new striker. The new forward in question is Brentford star Yoane Wissa. The report also stated that Thomas Frank is keen to work with the DR Congo international, even if it means selling Richarlison before the window shuts.
Now, there is a new update regarding the transfer saga involving the Brazilian. As per GiveMeSport, the 28-year-old has informed Thomas Frank and the club’s hierarchy that he is determined to stay at N17 and fight for his place. The Spurs No.9 is aware of the limited game time he would receive once Solanke is fit, but he still wants to prove his worth at the club.
The fans will surely be happy to hear that a player wants to play for the club and prove his critics wrong. With the FIFA World Cup coming up next summer, Richarlison will surely look to do his best whenever he gets a chance this season so that he can cement a spot in the national team. Thomas Frank also seems to be impressed with the forward’s recent performances, calling his finishing ability ‘exceptional’ on various occasions.
