‘He will score’: Dejan Kulusevski is confident of £90k-a-week Tottenham man’s abilities
Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has praised Richarlison after the two combined for Spurs in their Premier League win on Friday night.
The Spurs striker is in great form after returning to fitness, scored his third goal in two games in the win over Nottingham Forest.
Richarlison appears to have turned a corner following surgery on a long-term pelvic injury last month.
Prior to the surgery, the £90,000-a-week man () had been struggling, but now he’s looking like he’s getting back to his best.
Meanwhile, Kulusevski provided the assist for his teammate and also got on the scoresheet himself to help Tottenham win 2-0 at the City Ground.

The 23-year-old whipped in an outstanding cross from the right flank for Richarlison to get his head onto and slam into the back of the Reds net in first-half injury time.
Kulusevski then doubled Tottenham’s lead, claiming Matt Turner’s poor clearance, bearing down on goal and firing through the Forest keeper’s hands from a tight angle.
“I cannot do anymore,” Kulusevski told after the match. “I just try to give my team-mates the chance to score.
“Richi is a top striker, we give him those balls and he will score them.
“I like my right foot, it is too underrated by me. I have to keep shooting with my right foot.”

It’s great to see Richarlison getting back to his best.
After all the criticism he received, it just goes to show that you don’t always know what’s going on with a player behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, Kulusevski continues to grow as a player. Gary Neville said on Sky Sports after the match that he could become an “£80-100million player”.
At 23 years of age, he’s already a top Premier League star. It’ll be exciting to see how he continues to develop for Spurs.
