'Excellent' Tottenham Star Must Start First PL Match in Two Months

Tottenham's attacking resurgence under Antonio Conte has coincided with Richarlison's drop out of the starting XI.

The Brazilian has made just nine Premier League starts under the Italian and has not started any of the club's last eight league games.

The £50m summer signing from Everton has had to settle for a place on the bench in recent weeks, with Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane forming an impressive front three.

However, Richarlison has shown his quality when called upon, scoring three goals in his last four substitute appearances.

With Tottenham facing a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks, Conte may be tempted to recall Richarlison to the starting XI.

The Brazilian is a hard-working and versatile forward who can play in a variety of positions across the front line.

He would provide Tottenham with a different option to Kulusevski and Son, who are both more natural wingers.

With Tottenham pushing for a top-four finish, they will need all of their best players available.

And Richarlison has shown that he is more than capable of making a significant contribution to the team.
