Over the last few months, it has become clear that Tottenham have been in need of a striker. Richarlison stepped up remarkably during the absence of skipper Heung-Min Son, scoring 4 goals in the 3 games that Son was away (Transfermarkt).
Whilst 10 goals in 23 league games is a respectable return, it is nowhere near the numbers Spurs fans grew used to with Harry Kane in recent years and if Tottenham are to compete going forward, they need a striker who can break or come near to that 20-goal mark.
