Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was left impressed by Richarlison in today's victory over Lion City Sailors.

Richarlison hit a hat-trick for the 5-1 win in Singapore.

Postecoglou said: "I've said before that I really like Richy. He's someone who has got all of the attributes I look for in a striker in that he's got the strong work ethic, he's always in the right areas and he's presenting himself and making a presence of himself in the right areas for the way we play.

"He was probably a bit unlucky not to get a couple against West Ham that night. Again he was in the right areas today. I've got a lot of time for him and he's one of the ones I'm looking forward to working with. From the outside you see a player and you try to picture how they fit into the kind of football you want to play and I certainly think he can."

On Richarlison and Harry Kane, the manager also said: "They're different strikers. They have different strengths. Both though I think have a real presence in the penalty box and that's why Harry has scored so many goals and why he's one of the best strikers in the world.

"Richy is also a presence in the box in a different way so I think they've both got the right kind of qualities to play in that area and I think with Richy he can also play wide and as a second striker, mainly because he's got, and I think people dismiss it a bit, a really strong work ethic. He works hard for the team and a lot of what he does doesn't get seen. His pressing, his runs sometimes he doesn't get the ball but he's always making those runs and he's a constant nuisance for defenders. So he can play a couple of positions for sure."
