Antonio Conte has talked up the importance of Tottenham signing Richarlison this past summer.
The Brazilian scored a double in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Marseille.
Asked why the club signed Richarlison, Conte said: "We signed Richi because to exploit the best work of this team and to try to support the three strikers.
"When you have Sonny, Harry Kane and Deki last season, behind a player like Lucas who is now injured and a big problem for us, we tried to sign a player that was able to play in all of these three positions.
"For this reason we had no doubts to sign him. We did this quickly because our idea and our vision was very clear, especially for this reason.
"Richi is more of a striker than Deki but at the same time he can play in Son's position, Harry Kane's position, Deki's position. For us this is very important because for sure when you make a change you don't drop drop the quality in attack."
