From flop to top: Richarlison impresses at Tottenham.
Richarlison has been a standout player for Spurs this season.
Richarlison has often faced criticism for his performances in the Tottenham shirt, often rightly so, as he didn't reach the levels he showed at Everton. With just 1 goal in the Premier League last season, his future at Spurs seemed uncertain. However, this season, he has regained form and is now playing with confidence.
The goals have started to come, and it seems like he has found a good understanding with the rest of the Tottenham attack. He has scored 6 goals in the last 7 Premier League matches, establishing himself as the clear first choice in the attack, alongside Son and Kulusevski on the wings.
Richarlison Premier League stats 2023/24:
◉ 18 games
◉ 7 goals
◉ 3 assists
◉ 41 shots
◉ 16 shots on target
◉ 144 minutes per goal
◉ 101 minutes per goal involvement
Richarlison is the Tottenham player with the highest number of shots per 90 minutes, but he is also the one who misses the most significant goal-scoring opportunities. Therefore, one can conclude that he creates chances and scores reasonably well in terms of playing minutes, but there is room for improvement in terms of goal-scoring efficiency.
Most shots per 90 for Tottenham:
◉ Richarlison (3.7)
◉ Heung-min Son (2.8)
◉ James Maddison (2.8)
Most big chances missed for Tottenham:
◉ Richarlison (6)
◉ Brennan Johnson (5)
◉ Heung-min Son (3)
It appears that Richarlison feels more comfortable under the new manager Ante Postecoglou, who seems to have confidence in the Brazilian forward. He has certainly managed to restore Richarlison's confidence, and with his current form, it could strongly suggest that his immense potential is finally being unleashed in the Tottenham shirt.
