Richarlison has told Football.London what Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti said to him after he completed his move from Frank Lampard’s Everton to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
Earlier this month, Tottenham completed the signing of Richarlison from Premier League rivals Everton for an initial transfer fee of £50 million.
The Brazil international forward worked with Ancelotti at Everton.
The 25-year-old has shared what Ancelotti, who won the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League with Madrid last season, told him following his exit from Everton.
Carlo Ancelotti’s message to Richarlison after leaving Everton for Tottenham
Richarlison told Football.London: “He’s (Conte) one of the best coaches in the world, isn’t he? So it’s a privilege to be here, to be coached by him. I believe I will learn a lot working with him.
“He is very good friends with Carlo Ancelotti, and Carlo congratulated me on the transfer, said Conte is a friend of his, so I have everything to grow here working with him and I hope to contribute to bringing big victories and titles to help him too.”
Richarlison is a very good attacking player who can operate across the front-line and will give Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte a valuable option.
The 25-year-old has scored 48 goals and created 32 big chances in 173 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
Richarlison played a big role in Everton successfully staving off relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season.
The forward scored 10 goals and gave five assists in 28 Premier League starts for the Toffees last season.
