Emerson Royal has had a tough time, both on and off the pitch, since his move to Tottenham last summer. With the season coming to an end last month, the Brazilian returned home, but was involved in an incident in the early hours of Friday morning.
Royal managed to escape an attempted armed robbery, but explained that 29 shots were fired. Earlier this week the 23-year-old spoke about the incident and explained what happened when he told the man, who was holding a gun, that he would "give him what he wants".
"When I hand it to him, he walks away and unlocks his gun to shoot me. When he’s about to shoot me, I pushed him, slap the gun and he shoots in the air," the Brazilian admitted.
