Serie A giants looking to bridge €3m valuation gap with Tottenham for ‘outstanding’ 25-year-old
AC Milan looking to bridge €3m valuation gap with Tottenham Hotspur for Emerson Royal
Emerson Royal has had quite a strange career at Tottenham Hotspur. The 25-year-old signed for the club from Barcelona but struggled to adapt to English football. For his first couple of seasons, he was quite ridiculed by his own fanbase.
Things changed for the Brazilian right-back when the club signed Pedro Porro from Sporting CP in January 2023. This sparked a sense of competition in him and since then, Emerson has looked a different player on the pitch.
However, the Spaniard is a class apart in his position and when fit, it is almost impossible for Emerson to start ahead of him. That said, Ange Postecoglou used the Brazilian like a joker card last season, deploying him wherever there was a deficit in defence. The gaffer even labelled the player ‘outstanding’ after a performance at left-back last season.
