A list of the most Googled Premier League players was released earlier this week, and some of the results may shock you. Especially the #2 slot, which belongs to Richarlison, of Tottenham Hotspur. He led the line on Sunday, in the absence of Harry Kane, so with the Tottenham talisman having moved on for good finally, we expect the Richarlison number to climb.

And we all know that Richarlison can be a spaz at times, and say some outlandish things, so it’s easy to see why he draws attention all the time.
We expect him to start up top on Saturday, for the home opener, against Manchester United. Another player to keep on an eye on in the Tottenham first team is Destiny Udogie. He is #8 on the list of Premier League rising stars whose transfer market value has increased the most since they first started playing professionally. (The study was released this week)
According to transfermarkt, his value was £517,194 when he debuted, and his current value is £21,549,767. That is good for an increase of over 4,000%

Vicario; Emerson, Sanchez, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Skipp, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
