In keeping with Paul Merson, Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal is solely not adequate for Antonio Conte’s crew.
Spurs paid £25.7 million to signal the Brazilian defender from Barcelona final yr, however he has didn’t reside as much as the expectations and has been a disappointment.
The 23-year-old Brazilian has been on the receiving finish of a barrage of criticism over the previous yr and after final weekend’s sending-off for the nasty sort out on Gabriel Martinelli, the reproval has solely elevated.
In his column for Sportskeeda, Paul Merson blamed Emerson Royal for Tottenham’s heavy defeat to arch-rivals Arsenal within the North London derby and known as for Conte to think about changing the fitting wing-back. He wrote:
“I don’t know what Emerson Royal was doing, he’s not adequate and his aspect had been embarrassed by their native rivals owing to his crimson card.
“Emerson Royal isn’t adequate and tends to wrestle badly when he’s off it. I like Ivan Perisic, however he isn’t getting any youthful, so Conte has a factor or two to consider.”
Conte’s system is closely reliant on wing-backs, and whereas Spurs has sufficient high quality on the left aspect in Perisic and Sessegnon, the Italian supervisor would possibly must strengthen the fitting wing-back place in January.
