TOTTENHAM fans were NOT impressed with the performance of Emerson Royal after he missed an open goal during their pre-season friendly win over a K-League XI.

Son Heung-min and Harry Kane both scored twice as Spurs clinched a thrilling 6-3 victory in South Korea.

But the Tottenham faithful were less than convinced by Emerson's finishing skills in Seoul.

The Brazilian wing-back was given the simple task of slotting the ball home from eight yards after his compatriot Richarlison had brilliantly dummied a defender and the keeper.

But the outstretching Emerson could only turn the ball wide - which led to Spurs fans responding angrily on social media.

After seeing Cristian Romero's frustrated response to Emerson's miss, one fan said: "Romero - like most of us - is so done with Emerson Royal and all those Spurs journalists/podcasters who think we don’t need any new wingbacks."

Another added: "Emerson Royal is a lovely guy but please f*** off away from my club 😭."

And, referencing transfer interest from Atletico Madrid, a third said: "Emerson missing an open goal and then giving away a corner when passing back to the keeper from the halfway line….

"Hope Atletico aren't watching."

Emerson joined Spurs last summer but has failed to convince Tottenham fans that he is up to standard.

He started 26 Premier League matches last season, but fellow wingback Matt Doherty impressed towards the end of the campaign.

And Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence looks set to join Tottenham this summer - which could leave Emerson with a lack of game time.

SunSport exclusively revealed back in March that Spurs were already listening to offers for the former Barcelona man.
