Thomas Frank has some good forward options at Tottenham Hotspur, including Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani.

Richarlison has made a solid start to the new season, producing three goal contributions in his first three Premier League games.

Kolo Muani is yet to play for Tottenham, arriving in north London on deadline day.

However, Frank has confirmed that Kolo Muani could make his debut in Spurs’ London derby against West Ham United.

Richarlison set for starring role at Tottenham despite Randal Kolo Muani arrival

Kolo Muani is an accomplished striker after playing for Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Eintracht Frankfurt.

But Richarlison has started up front in all three of Tottenham’s Premier League games so far, and it looks like Frank wants to keep him there.

According to TEAMtalk, the Dane has really taken to Richarlison’s qualities and intends to keep the Brazilian in his starting XI.

It means that Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke could face a real battle to get into Frank’s team this season.

That being said, Richarlison can also play out wide, while Frank is still a huge fan of Kolo Muani, so he could try to find a way to get both men into his side.

Frank has already lauded Kolo Muani, hailing the France international as a “quality player”.

Richarlison has wowed Thomas Frank

Richarlison has played in four games under Frank, including the UEFA Super Cup final, but there is no doubt that his best performance so far has come against Burnley in the Premier League.

In that match, the the former Everton man was able to score two goals as Spurs went on to win 3-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Speaking in an interview with SPURSPLAY after the game, which was shared by Tottenham’s official club website, Frank said: “First and foremost his performance today, ‘wow’. His performance on Wednesday, ‘wow’. His work ethic, the way he leads the team, the way he presses, his hold up play, the way he competes is fantastic.”

Frank will now be hoping that Richarlison can help inspire Tottenham to another victory when they face West Ham. Frank has often got the better of West Ham, beating them six times during his spell as Brentford boss.
