Ian Wright has claimed Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison will explode if he finds the right connection with Spurs fans.
The Brazilian has really struggled to wear the Tottenham shirt since joining from Everton last year. He was there on the worst contract at the time, but we all know he’s a very talented player.
Ian Wright believes Tottenham star Richarlison could explode soon
- Tottenham signed Richarlison last year in a huge contract worth £60 million (Sky Sports).
The Brazilian was the best player during his time at Everton and was expected to have a similar impact at Tottenham, where he was surrounded by better players.
But Richarlison had a shocking campaign last time. He has scored once in the Premier League all season, but this season hasn’t gotten off to a good start.
The 26-year-old finally made his breakthrough this season, scoring against Sheffield United in this frenetic game last weekend. He received a lot of love from Spurs fans after the match, and Ian Wright believes this is the key to his success.
The Arsenal legend claimed that once Tottenham fans fully support Richarlison, he will explode for them in the Premier League.
He said this on the Righties House podcast.
“All he has to do now to achieve legendary status at Tottenham is score a goal, or the winning goal, and that’s it. Richarlison will be safe for life in the eyes of Tottenham fans. “You have to embrace him and love him as your own. It’s the same with me – if you have fans who love you, it doesn’t matter what other people say to you. They always Protected by fans.
“If Richarlison can build the right relationship with Tottenham fans, I think we’ll see dynamite from this guy.”
The Brazilian can play anywhere up front, has a great work ethic and can score with both his feet and head. He’s a really outstanding player, but for some reason it didn’t work out for him at Tottenham. His great performance against Sheffield United last week should have given Richarlison a lot of confidence, and what better game to play next than the North London derby?!
If Richarlison scores against Arsenal, he will instantly become a hero to Tottenham fans.
