Tottenham manager Antonio Conte says he is excited to work with \u201cnasty\u201d new signing Richarlison. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Brazil striker, who joined from Everton last month in a deal worth up to \u00a360million, made his first appearance for Spurs in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea, where he impressed off the bench. <\/span><\/p>\n

He had been suspended for the first game of the season after throwing a flare into the crowd during one of his final games as an Everton player. <\/span><\/p>\n

But speaking about the 25-year-old’s impact ahead of Saturday’s game against Wolves \u2014 in which Richarlison could make his first start \u2014 Conte said: \u201cFor sure Richy (Richarlison) is a player that made us focused, nasty. He’s a player I like.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s always into the training session with his mind. For us I think this is a good sign.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It had been unclear whether Richarlison would be able to play with Tottenham’s usual front three \u2014 Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Dejan Kulusevski.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Conte revealed that he envisaged playing all four in some fixtures. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working also on the tactical aspect because the season will be long and there are many games that we have to play also with four strikers,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end at Chelsea, we played with Lucas Moura as wing-back, Perisic \u2014 we are talking about in the past a striker \u2014 Richarlison, Kulusevski, Sonny\u2026 b<\/span>ut to do this, it’s important to have organization in the tactical aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem could be for the others (the opposition) when you have the ball, but without the ball also we must not lose the balance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to try to improve because for me to play with four strikers can become a good option during the game, and to start some games.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing is that the four strikers want to run and to make sacrifices without the ball. This is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut I have players with good stamina, with good quality and we are working also on this aspect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tottenham are fourth in the Premier League, having picked up a win and a draw from their opening two games.<\/span><\/p>\n
