Palermo defender Emerson is eager to learn in Serie A.
The 20 year-old, who is on loan from Santos, could make his debut against Hellas Verona on Monday and is keen to make a quick impression.
“People say I am more mature than most 20-year-olds,” he said, as reported by Football Italia.
“In tactical terms I also improved a great deal at Santos. I only started playing football as a professional at 17, but I am still 20 and I have time to improve.”
