Arriving this summer from Everton, Richarlison is currently struggling to take on the role of number one scorer for Spurs. Although he has shown good qualities in recent weeks, the Brazilian international still lacks efficiency in front of goal.
But this is precisely what Tottenham urgently need, while Son is away for the Asian Cup. With his physique and his sense of community, Richarlison brings a lot to the London collective. However, his statistics remain mixed since the start of the season.

This is where a loan from Timo Werner could do Spurs good. Also struggling in front of goal at Chelsea, the German knows how to stretch defenses and free up space. His speed and movement could put Richarlison in a better position to finish actions.

Rather than signing a clone of Richarlison, Conte could therefore find with Werner an ideal complement to his Brazilian striker. Their association for 6 months could wreak havoc in the opposing area. A risk-free bet which could revive Richarlison and strengthen the Spurs offensive sector without long-term commitments.
