Emerson Royal believes patience is key as he continues to learn and adapt to life at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 23-year-old has made 37 appearances for Spurs since arriving from Barcelona last summer. Signed as a regular right-back for Nuno Espirito Santo, the Brazil international has had to adapt to Antonio Conte's system which requires him to become a wing-back, a role he has little experience in.
Attacking is not Emerson's forte but he has been gradually adjusting to Conte's demands and as the only fit right-sided defender with Matt Doherty out injured for the rest of the season he is back in the team and getting a run of starts. On Sunday, his performance against Leicester City was one of his best in recent months.
