Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has had to deal with several injury setback in his maiden season in north London. Key stars such as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are yet to feature this campaign due to long-term injury problems. Recently, the fans have witnessed the likes of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie miss games as well, while Dominic Solanke went under the knife to correct his ankle problem last month.

Solanke’s continued absence has benefitted Richarlison from an individual perspective. The Brazilian has been Tottenham’s first-choice No.9 this season, with Thomas Frank backing him to turn around his N17 career. However, he has laboured for some time now and gone off the boil, affecting the team’s productivity in front of goal.

Richarlison was expected to leave Spurs in the summer, but a combination of several factors led to him staying at the club. Clubs from Brazil were looking to lure him back, with Palmeiras notably making a bold move to sign the centre-forward. While he has stayed, there is constant speculation surrounding the 28-year-old’s long-term future at White Hart Lane.
