Richarlison picks five Spurs players in his XI of best-ever teammates

Richarlison named five Tottenham stars when asked to pick a best eleven from the teammates he has had in his club career so far.

Richarlison has settled down quite quickly at Spurs since his summer move from Everton, and he seems to have already become quite a popular member of the dressing room.

The 25-year-old has demonstrated at the World Cup just why the North Londoners paid £60m to snap him as he has led the line impressively for Brazil, having found the back of the twice in Qatar, which includes two of the best goals across the tournament so far.

It looks like the Spurs players have also made quite an impression on the forward, who proceeded to pick five Lilywhties stars in his teammates eleven.

While Richarlison unsurprisingly chose both Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, he also went with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield and Eric Dier at centre-back. Perhaps the former Everton man’s most surprising choice was his decision to go with Emerson Royal at right wing-back.

I think it is fair to say that the Emerson pick is more down to the friendship that Richarlison has with his compatriot rather than being down to just ability. The Dier choice is quite an interesting one, and it is noticeable that the centre-back is held in very high regard by his teammates despite not being liked by a section of the Spurs fan base.
