Jamie O’Hara says Tottenham player called ‘very important’ by Ange Postecoglou isn’t good enough for Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison has been slammed as not good enough to replace Harry Kane by Jamie O’Hara.

This comes amid the Brazilian’s rich vein of form in the Premier League as he enjoys his best spell in front of goal since arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Despite Richarlison looking like a player reborn in recent months, O’Hara has suggested he will never be able to fill the boots left behind by Harry Kane.

O’Hara says Richarlison isn’t good enough

The 26-year-old was forced to miss a handful of games earlier in the campaign as he underwent the knife to try and fix a groin issue he was suffering from.

And it seems as if the surgery was something which certainly paid off as he has been in sensational goalscoring form ever since.

Richarlison has been able to find the back of the net nine times in his last 10 Premier League goals now; a far cry from the dismal return last season.

Yet, O’Hara has spoken about how he does not feel the Brazilian will ever be a reliable goalscorer for Spurs: “I don’t think Richarlison is good enough,” he said.

“I think he’s scoring goals but he’s all round game doesn’t stack up against Harry Kane. Yeah he would get you the odd goal but when I watch him over 90 minutes I just don’t think he’s got that real star world class quality.”

How many goals has Harry Kane scored this season

Since leaving Hotspur Way for Bayern Munich, it has been a mixed bag for the England captain and all-time record scorer at Spurs.

Individually, it has been an impressive campaign for the 30-year-old who has returned 28 goals and eight assists across his 29 appearances.

However, the move has not come without its obstacles with Bayern’s usual trophy collection taking a real beating this season.

The past week was a really difficult one for Bayern as they lost against their title rivals, Bayer Leverkusen, and then Lazio in the Champions League.

Kane failed to score in either of these games when his side could’ve done with a huge performance and he has been on the end of some cheeky comments from Alan Shearer.

We were never going to be able to replace Kane. He is the club’s all-time record scorer after all.

But it is really strange to hear negative comments directed at Richarlison when he is in such fine form at the moment.

Postecoglou has hailed Richarlison as a ‘really important player‘ and that is all that matters.
