Harry Redknapp admits he’s still not at all convinced by 26-year-old Tottenham player

Harry Redknapp has admitted thatಞ he’s never been convinced by Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison after his performance against Fulham.

Redknapp was speaking on after a comf๊ortable 2-0 win for Spurs over London rivals Fulham.

Ange Postecoglou wasn’t too happy with his side’s performance and will🍎 know they should have won the game by a greater margin.

Fulham even carved out some late chances through Raul Jimenez and Harry Wils✃on but Marco Silva’s side look desperately short of confidence in front of goa🐲l.

Both⭕ players are arguably in the best form of their careers and have led Tottenham to the top 🦂of the Premier League.

However, there are still concerns about Richarlison’s form at Tottenham and Harry Redknapp has adm🌺itted he’s never 𝓰been convinced by the Brazilian.

He’s already matched his tally of 🔯goals and assists from last season although that wasn’t🦹 the most difficult task.

The 26-year-o🌱ld was ꧃substituted in the closing stages for Brennan Johnson and as the Welshman continues to work towards full fitness, he might now fancy his chances of starting soon.

Redknapp left unconvinced by Tottenham forward Richarlison

ไSpeaking about the❀ attacker, : “I think he’s got a bit to do for me still to convince me.

“To be honest I was like that 🌄with him at Everton. There was something about him that didn’t endear hi🍎m to me that much.

“Listen, if they feel they need to bring someone in on that꧙ side and th๊ey’ll be looking then they’ll go out and do that.

“Hopefully, he’s turned the corner,ℱ he needs a goal or two doesn’t he really?ꦏ His confidence is key, if you haven’t got the confidence it’s an impossible game.”

Richarlison’s domestic form appears to be affecting his performances for Brazil which will be a concern as they continue their campaign to quality for the 🌌next World Cup.

Redknapp’s thought may be echoed by some Tottenham fans but the crowd loved how much effort Ric🐽harlison was putting in last night.

It a🎉ppeared as though he had recognised things weren’t going right for him in front of goal and so instead decided to run himself into the ground, closing down💙 Fulham’s defenders.

That was ultimately how༒ Spurs scored both their goals with Richarlison earning an assist for the first, but he will know his place in the side is now under threat.
