Richarlison has been the subject of a massive amount of jokes and banter on social media by rival fans, but is it warranted? The 26-year-old has struggled with Tottenham to say the least, scoring only four goals in 39 appearances with the club after signing for around $72 million US dollars in July of 2022.

The Brazilian striker has big shoes to fill as he’s starting in the place of club legend Harry Kane, who is now at Bayern Munich, but isn’t making nearly the impact needed of him if Tottenham is going to be successful offensively.

Richy did net his first goal with the club since his UCL brace against Marseille on 9/7/22 on Tuesday in the loss against Fulham but also appeared to be limping after coming off in the 72nd minute. Will Richarlison battle through injury and continue scoring or will we see a makeshift Tottenham front-line on Saturday?
