With a major Richarlison decision at Hotspur Way, Tottenham could “surprise people.”

The Brazil international has had a difficult start to life at Spurs and has struggled to score regularly. The sale of Kane could have revived his career this season, but Richarlison still has problems in front of goal.Postecoglou decided to bring Son Heung-min into a central role in the final match against Burnley, with the former Bayer Leverkusen man scoring three goals in an impressive victory. It must have been tough for Richarlison to watch from the bench, with Son achieving what he has failed to do this season.What did Brown say about Tottenham, Son Heung-min and Richarlison?Brown suggested that despite Son scoring a hat-trick last time out, he doesn’t expect the South Korean striker to lead the team all season. The journalist adds that he expects Postecoglou to choose to bring Richarlison back into the starting XI in the near future, which will give him the opportunity to show why they bought him. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Brown said…”I would like to think that if Son scored a hat-trick in his position it would light a fire under him and give him the kick he might need. I think he needs to show he can respond to that kind of competition because I don’t think so, and this may surprise some people, but I don’t think Son will stay in ninth place this season, just because he scored a hat trick in this match. I believe Richarlison will return to this team at some point, sooner or later. And that the coach will give him a chance to show that he can score goals in that position and be the player they thought they were recruiting when they got him.”Should Richarlison start in the middle?There is no doubt that Richarlison has more experience playing in the middle of attack, as it is a position he was used so well in during his time at Everton.
Son spent most of his career on the left side and was extremely effective throughout his time at Spurs. Although Richarlison may not be contributing many goals and assists this season, the Brazilian offers plenty with his work rate and pressing in attack.With the former Watford striker up front, Spurs have been picking up results, with goals coming from elsewhere. Finding a method for both players to thrive and integrate into the team would benefit Postecoglou immensely.
