“We are winning everything with him in our side” Tottenham star living up to his name

Emerson Royal is the latest in a long list of right-backs who have played for Tottenham and he seems to have won over many of its fans.

The Brazilian joined the Lilywhites from Barcelona just before the last transfer window closed.

He is now the first choice and his arrival saw Spurs terminate the contract of the error-prone Serge Aurier.

Matt Doherty had been signed a year before his arrival, but the Republic of Ireland international has struggled to win over fans and managers at Tottenham.

Emerson is different and the Brazilian’s image was posted on the Spurs Twitter account with a caption that was simply a crown to depict his name – Royal.

Spurs fans filled the comments with praise for a player they seem to enjoy watching.

At least one fan thinks he is better than the likes of Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold because he is the best in the league.

Others believe he is better than Takehiro Tomiyasu, whom Spurs initially wanted to sign before he moved to Arsenal. Here are some of the best reactions:
