Tottenham Hotspur are likely to have a busy summer in terms of incomings and outgoings at N17.
Ange Postecoglou has done fairly well in his maiden season at Spurs, but there’s certainly a lot of work that still needs to be done.
Tottenham have already moved several players on this season, and there are others who have reportedly been earmarked for a move away.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has reiterated Spurs’ interest to sell one player in particular, amid interest from a team set to play in the Champions League next term.
The player in question is Emerson Royal, who hasn’t had the greatest of seasons and looks likely to move on in the summer.
What has Fabrizio Romano said about Tottenham defender Emerson Royal?
Romano told GiveMeSport: “In terms of outgoings, I expect Emerson Royal to leave because Tottenham are looking at a new right-back to have a new backup option for Pedro Porro – obviously they are super happy with Porro.
“But they want one more to create some competition and then Emerson Royal could leave. He has two years left on his contract, and there is strong interest from AC Milan.
“Milan have Emerson Royal on top of their list of a new right-back and they want to be fast in their negotiations.
“In June, already they could make it happen, but Emerson Royal has a really good chance to be one of the players leaving Tottenham in the summer.”
Emerson Royal doesn’t seem to have much of a future at Tottenham
Emerson has had a difficult couple of years since his move from Barcelona, with some fans and pundits routinely calling for him to be sold.
Jamie O’Hara went as far as calling him a ‘liability’ and even claimed he would ‘give you £5million to get rid’ of Emerson last season.
Postecoglou praised Emerson earlier this season, saying he’s “just outstanding with his attitude and demeanour around the place”, and he did do well at times this term.
However, with the season coming to an end, he hasn’t exactly built on this. He remains inconsistent and has dropped some poor displays.
With that in mind, it doesn’t look as though Emerson has much of a future at Spurs, and there’s a good chance he’ll move.
However, Milan isn’t exactly a bad club to join. They won the title two years ago and will be in the Champions League next term.
