He really could because he\u2019s a kind of player who\u2019s a slight maverick in the team, but the big change in him, he\u2019s working his socks off and it starts from the front. It always tends to start from the front,\u201d Walcott said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think someone like Thomas Frank, he just gets the best out of individuals and then brings those individuals together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richarlison\u2019s record alongside Theo Walcott<\/p>\n<p>Walcott knows Richarlison better than most.
