Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison has suggested he is better than Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
Spurs have been forced to play without their Brazilian forward for a number of weeks now through injury.
But that has not stopped him taking to social media and ranking himself as better than some current Premier League players.
Richarlison goals this season
It has been a fairly impressive season for Richarlison in the Premier League having netted nine in his last 10 games.
But injuries have been an issue with the 26-year-old underwent surgery earlier in the season and is now suffering from a knee issue.
Heung-min Son has stepped in up front in his place and is finding the back of the net with ease.
As he watches from the sidelines, the Brazilian took to TikTok to blind rank 10 random players. It just so happened that his own picture appeared where he then ranked himself third in the list.
This was one place higher than the World Cup-winning midfielder, Fernandez, who Chelsea paid £107m for last year.
Richarlison’s Tottenham future
There’s no doubt the Brazilian has largely improved on what he was able to provide Spurs last season.
However, there have to be question marks as to whether it is good enough for a team who are looking to reestablish themselves in the top four.
The Spurs News has already been told that Tottenham may consider selling Richarlison in the summer if a good offer arrives.
It has to be said, Tottenham are not exactly missing Richarlison whilst he is out with his knee issue.
Ange Postecoglou said last week that the Brazilian was still undergoing rehab and would miss the game against Aston Villa.
But there can’t be any real rush for him to return ahead of schedule as their captain continues to find the back of the net.
After seeing how Spurs have coped without him, perhaps when he does return, Richarlison may have a lot to prove ahead of the summer transfer window.
