Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits he's been pleased with Emerson Royal's form.

Conte says he's been working closely with the Brazilian on his attacking game.

He said, "In my opinion Emerson, he had a good start in this season and he can play in this position and is doing well. In the last game, in Sporting Lisbon, he can score three goals, not one, he can score three goals. In every game he is totally involved and don't forget Emerson played every game in this period.

"For sure now he can be a bit tired because the wing-back, you can be fatigued because you become a striker when you are going to attack and you have to become a defender when we have to defend, but I'm really happy about Emerson's performance because you have to think, compare last season and he's made a good improvement.

"He has to continue to work to do it and at the same time you know that we also have Ivan Perisic who can play on the right or left and Sessegnon, he is fit and he's in a good moment of form. For sure maybe he's one of the players that in this moment deserves to play, like Deki, but we'll do it with the right time and the right patience, to try to do the best for our team."
