“Great Future” – Lucas Moura has high praise for Emerson Royal

By Eddie Razo -

Over the summer, Tottenham Hotspur revamped their backline, adding some youth with Cristian Romero to anchor their backline at center back and Emerson Royal to take over the right-back position. 

Spurs struck a deal for Royal in the final hours before the summer transfer window closed in August. For his compatriot and Tottenham teammate, Lucas Moura, the 22-year-old has a bright future which will be on display in north London. 

“He is doing very well, and he has a great future. It’s good to have a Brazilian in my side because we understand each other,” Moura said to Sky Sports

Coming over from La Liga to the Premier League, there’s been an adjustment period, not to mention the coaching change as the squad went from Nuno Espírito Santo to Antonio Conte. 

As a result, it’s been a difficult first few months. However, Royal remains in the starting eleven for Tottenham as 12 of his 13 appearances are starts, averaging 85 minutes per game this season. 

Despite the start to the season, it seems Conte sees potential in Emerson and isn’t ready to take him out of the lineup anytime soon.
