Emerson Royal may not have played for Tottenham yesterday, but that didn’t stop Jamie O’Hara from ripping into him this weekend.
And, ahead of the game against Brighton, former Tottenham midfielder O’Hara slammed the Brazilian and said he’d pay someone to take him off Tottenham’s hands.
He told TalkSport:
“I would pay someone to take him of our hands. I ain’t got a lot in my bank but I’d give you £5m to get rid of this liability, because he is costing us every week.”
“Doherty, please get back fit. Djed Spence, what did we pay for him, £15m? Get him in the team. Conte, I don’t know why you keep putting your neck on the chopping block for this geezer, it’s like having Aurier.”
Royal has reportedly spent close to a million pounds outside of Tottenham’s training facility to improve his chances of impressing Conte. However, his red card at Arsenal last week may have ended his chances of playing regularly this season.
