Ange Postecoglou says Richarlison is now mentally and physically ready to provide for Tottenham - and he will needed when they potentially lose Heung-min Son for six weeks to the Asian Cup.
Son is expected to join the South Korea camp at the start of January with the tournament in Qatar running until February 10. Richarlison bagged a brace in last weekend's 4-1 win over Newcastle and, remarkably, they were the first goals he has scored with his feet since joining Spurs.
Richarlison is aiming to add to his tally against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Friday night - a stadium where he went viral last season for doing keepy-uppies while Tottenham led 2-0.
