Tottenham are reportedly eyeing Watford’s in-form attacker Richarlison – and the club’s supporters on Twitter have welcomed the idea of signing him.
The Daily Mirror claims that Spurs are currently monitoring the 20-year-old, who only moved to Vicarage Road in the summer for £11.2million.
It is understood that he has the traits manager Mauricio Pochettino is searching for and the North London club are keen on prizing him away.
Richarlison has impressed as Watford’s left-winger so far this campaign and made an instant impact in the Premier League.
The Brazilian has scored four goals and supplied three assists in 12 games for the Hornets so far.
Spurs fans on social media have given their approval for the club to try sign the highly-rated youngster and they feel that Pocehttino could help him become a superstar.

This would be an excellent signing
Has the thing that others lack
Pace and trickery— Llorismo (@MouraThis) November 14, 2017
If Richarlison continues to impress, id have no issues with a 25m+ bid. Exactly the profile we need.

Pochettino has a reputation for improving young players and that is something that has worked very well at Spurs in recent campaigns.
Richarlison has been one of the rising stars that have excelled in the Premier League so far this campaign and is being tipped to play for an elite club in the future.
The winger has blistering pace and has already proven that he can be a real goal threat, but will be keen to tighten up his finishing.
He has had Watford fans on the edge of their seats with his trickery and unpredictability, which has helped him become a key part of Marco Silva’s side.
Spurs could turn out to be the perfect platform for Richarlison further down the line and boss Pochettino could play a big role in that.
