Through his managerial team, led by his dad Emerson Zulu, Royal has spent £800,000 to improve his performance and meet the gruelling demands for the elite standards of top-flight football.

Royal's modern recovery equipment

One piece of equipment he's got his hands on is the Vitaeris 320 hyperbaric chamber, widely used in sports science to accelerate recovery for injured players. It is meant to help reduce swelling, healing and fatigue after a match.

Royal also requested his dad to scout PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi, who was excellent for Antonio Conte at Inter Milan.

The 23-year-old Brazilian has also hired a neuroscientist to help him improve his game intelligence and deal with athletes' intense psychological pressure.

Royal completed a £25.8 million move from Barcelona in August last year and is hoping to make that position his, amid criticism from Spurs fans about his offensive output, according to the BBC.
