Richarlison's nasty streak may be just what Tottenham need

Tottenham fans are in raptures at finally seeing the purse strings loosened at White Hart Lane, with Antonio Conte getting the backing he so vociferously called for.

The intent at Spurs has only been getting stronger as the transfer window continues. First Ivan Perisic arrives on a free, then the club shell out £25million on Yves Bissouma, and on Friday they completed the £60m statement signing of Richarlison from Everton.

The Brazilian was being chased by several big clubs, notably Chelsea, but Tottenham have won the race. His attacking credentials are not in doubt, but could it be that Spurs signed him for his other, less savoury skills?
