Richarlison makes Tottenham prediction after hat-trick as Emerson reveals why he is so happy

Richarlison believes the 2023/24 campaign will be a «good season» for him as he bids to overcome a difficult first year at Tottenham. Joining in a £60million deal from Everton, the attacker only managed three goals for the club, with only one of those coming in the Premier League.

Forced to watch on from the sidelines due to three separate injury issues across the campaign, Tottenham fans never saw the very best of him as the regular minutes he craved just never came his way. A huge year for the player as he bids to make his mark in north London, the versatile forward was the hero for the Lilywhites in Wednesday's 5-1 friendly win over Lion City Sailors in Singapore.

Missing some big chances in their opening friendly against West Ham last Tuesday, the 26-year-old made up for his wastefulness by completing a hat-trick in the second half of the contest against the Singapore Premier League team. Certainly giving him a confidence boost ahead of the new campaign, Richarlison has admitted that pre-season has been good on a personal level and he's now targeting a big season.

«I'm over the moon, so happy,» he told SPURSPLAY following the win. «Thank you fans, thank you Singapore for this pre-season. I like Singapore and this pre-season is good for me and the group.»

He added: «I feel good. Last season I had too many injuries and now I feel good, my body is good. I think it [will be] a good season for me.»

Forming a very special bond with Emerson Royal following his move to the capital last summer, the right-back has heaped praise on his teammate and stated that he deserves the best.
