Richarlison under pressure as Spurs chase minutes amid transfer talk
Time is running out for Richarlison.
Earlier injuries to Solanke and Kolo Muani gave him a consistent run in Thomas Frank’s starting XI.
Now, with Kolo Muani fit, Richarlison has had to settle for the bench.
In midweek he missed a penalty that Dane Scarlett later converted.
Nevertheless, Spurs registered only 0.1 xG in the defeat to Chelsea.
Additionally, speculation has begun about the January window.
Speculation has linked Ivan Toney and Dusan Vlahovic as potential targets.
Tottenham have money to spend, so Richarlison must maximise minutes to secure his place and a Brazil call up.
The World Cup comes next summer, so the pressure is real for him.
This weekend Tottenham host Manchester United at 12.30pm.
Everton visit Fulham at 3pm.
West Ham take on Burnley at 3pm.
Sunderland face Arsenal at 5.30pm.
- Richarlison is under pressure to deliver at Spurs as competition for places intensifies.
- Transfer chatter links Spurs to attackers while 0.1 xG lingers from a Chelsea defeat.
- With the World Cup looming, Richarlison must impress to win a Brazil spot and a Spurs future.
