Paul Merson admits he was wrong about Tottenham defender

Posted by

Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson hasn’t been impressed by what Emerson Royal has offered so far for Tottenham.

Merson says the Brazil international has been a disappointment under Antonio Conte and he thought the 23-year-old would be much better.

“This might be a bit of a harsh one, but I thought Emerson Royal was going to be better than he was.

“He played every week under Antonio Conte, but he never managed to meet expectations in the Premier League.” – finished Merson for SportSkeeda.

Royal, who joined Tottenham from Barcelona failed to make immediate impact for Tottenham, but late in the season he was a regular for Antonio Conte as Spurs managed to secure a Champions League spot for next season.

The 23-year-old made 31 Premier League appearances in his first season at London Stadium.
