Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison is on track to be handed an opportunity to kickstart his season when AZ Alkmaar head to north London for a Europa League clash on Thursday as boss Ange Postecoglou is poised to include the Hotspur Way favourite in the starting line-up, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

The striker came off the bench as Spurs returned to winning ways when they sealed a 4-1 victory over capital rivals West Ham United last weekend, but he has been limited to just 34 minutes of action in all competitions this term due to being forced onto the sidelines for a sustained period through injury.

Although Dominic Solanke’s £65million arrival from Premier League rivals Bournemouth during the summer transfer window has also resulted in Richarlison having fresh competition in the attacking third of the pitch, he is on course to be involved from the start against Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar.

Richarlison is set to be handed a starting berth in Tottenham’s continental encounter with AZ Alkmaar after Postecoglou has been toying with the idea of giving him more minutes on the pitch following his recovery from injury, according to GMS sources, and it could prove to be a significant opportunity to kickstart his season.

There was plenty of speculation over the Brazil international’s future during the summer transfer window, with Saudi Pro League big-spenders Al-Hilal among the sides understood to be interested in luring him away from north London, but he is eager to make an impact in his current surroundings after remaining on board.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham are keen for Richarlison to maintain his fitness and improve his form to make Postecoglou’s side even more potent and put Solanke under additional pressure as he bids to remain one of the first names on the team sheet following his switch from Bournemouth in August.
