Richarlison has been brilliant for Tottenham in 2024 so far.
The Brazilian has really hit his stride over the past two months. He’s scored a number of big goals for Spurs since the turn of the year, and, in all honesty, he looks like a different player lately.
The striker has surprised a lot of people over the past few weeks, and speaking on The Spurs Show, Peter Taylor has noted how shocked he’s been by Richarlison.
Taylor stated that he initially thought that Richarlison’s attitude was all wrong, claiming that he seemed to be a bit too moody as a player, but now, he says he’s been won round by the Brazilian and his application as of late
Richarlison has won Peter Taylor over
The pundit spoke about the £60m man.
“I think Richarlison has done well, but I’m a little bit surprised he’s done that well do you know what I mean. He’s definitely not a number nine. Harry was the real deal in that respect. You can’t get better than that. All I would say is that the focus for Spurs now should be to get as close as you can to that. You need a good number nine and Richarlison can play in other bits. I’ve been pleased with him attitude wise. From the outside I thought he was too moody, I’m not sure I’d have you, but he’s won me over, he’s done well,” Taylor said.

We’re not sure why Richarlison has started playing so well all of a sudden, but it’s fair to say that something has clicked for the striker in recent weeks.
Indeed, from almost out of nowhere, Richarlison has been looking like a £60m player.
Perhaps the absence of Heung-Min Son helped as he felt more and more like the main man at Tottenham, hence why he’s not been scoring so much since the South Korean’s return.
Richarlison has now proven he has what it takes to make it at Spurs, and he needs to keep this level of form up.
