Former Watford scout Filippo Giraldi believes Richarlison is the perfect player for Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.

The Brazil forward swapped Everton for Spurs this summer in a deal worth £50m.

Giraldi brought Richarlison to English football with a move from Fluminense to Vicarage Road, and believes he can thrive under Conte.

"It was a quick negotiation which I insisted on a lot," he told TuttoMercatoWeb.

"While scouting him, I was struck by his athleticism, his ability to hold off blows. The more you hit him, the higher he stays. That's perfect for Conte.

"He is tenacious, he has character. We took him for £10m and sold for £50m, the second sale was even higher.

"He is always a pleasure. He combines strength with determination, he is strong and perfect for Conte."
