Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that Emerson Royal’s teammates are delighted that the Brazilian has managed to turn around his form, with the 23-year-old being one of the most popular players in the changing room.
Just a few months ago, it looked as though Emerson had no way back at Tottenham after he was jeered off by home fans when he was substituted in the win over Leeds United.

However, the Brazilian has managed to turn things around rather quickly and is now seemingly on his way to becoming a cult hero among the fans.
The former Real Betis man is deservedly keeping January signing Pedro Porro out of the starting eleven, with Spurs fans even chanting ‘he scores when he wants’ after the right wing-back found the back of the net against West Ham on Sunday.
It was visible from the celebration just how much the goal meant to Emerson’s teammates, with Richarlison grasping a handful of his shirt and Cristian Romero booting him up the backside.
Gold has now revealed that the right-back is one of the most popular players in the squad and is also one of the hardest workers behind the scenes.
The journalist explained that Emerson is a real team man, always wearing a smile on his face and pushing his teammates on even when he is not playing, which is why the players were delighted for him on Sunday.

While I too had my reservations about Emerson Royal’s fit for the right wing-back role, the constant trolling of him by Spurs fans on social media, never sat well with me.
The way the 23-year-old has turned things around shows his tremendous character as players can easily lose their confidence when they are booed by their own fans the way he was.
