With richarlison we’d have 3 top quality players able to play through the middleRaphina is the only one that Woolwich have been linked with that would bother me.
The issue for us is that he can't play as a number 9, and Conte's priority is someone who can lead the line when Harry isn't starting. Richarlison on the other hand is by far the best link we've had as a credible Kane back up.
Anyone good in the number 9 role, tends to be a specialist, and unable to play wide. So those guys don't want to come and play second fiddle. Richarlison can get good minutes centrally and wide. We won't do better for a Kane back up.
Should keep us protected from impacts of injuries and keep them fresh
