Wait 5 sec.

Theo Walcott has admitted that he has noticed something different with his former Everton teammate Richarlison since Thomas Frank walked through the door at Tottenham.Not many Spurs fans would have predicted that Richarlison would start ahead of Dominic Solanke in Frank’s first three competitive games in charge.That is despite Frank admitting in his first interview as Tottenham head coach that he is a big fan of Solanke.The Brazilian has begun the season with two goals and an assist in Spurs’ first two Premier League games, but his play inside the box is not what has caught Walcott’s eye.(Credit @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram)Theo Walcott says Richarlison is working his socks off at TottenhamFrank has praised Richarlison’s work-rate, pressing and hold-up play, and that is something that Walcott has seen a big improvement in already this season.The former Arsenal and Everton forward admitted that the 28-year-old can be frustrated to play alongside at times, but praised Frank for being able to get a shift out of him.Walcott told BBC’s Monday Night Club podcast: “I played with Richarlison, and at times, he could frustrate the hell out of you. He really could because he’s a kind of player who’s a slight maverick in the team, but the big change in him is that he’s working his socks off.“And it starts from the front. It always tends to start from the front. I think someone like Thomas Frank, he just gets the best out of individuals and then brings those individuals together.”Richarlison gets praise from several punditsSeveral pundits like Gary Lineker have said that they are excited to see what Richarlison can produce this season if he steers clear of injuries at Tottenham.Wayne Rooney is not surprised that Richarlison is thriving under Frank, with the Man United legend claiming that the Dane’s system suits the Brazilian’s strengths.Ben Foster has described Richarlison as ‘world class’, but opined that Frank’s challenge would be to keep the striker motivated throughout the season.READ MORE: Jose Mourinho shut down transfer by giving negative report on Tottenham midfielderThe post Richarlison’s former teammate has noticed a big change in the Tottenham star appeared first on Spurs Web.
