Brazil and Tottenham Hotspur right back Emerson Royal has long been on the wish list of multiple European clubs, ever since he lost his place to Pedro Porro.
His style of play does not suit the one Ange Postecoglou has instilled at the club, which is a fast pace attacking style with ‘inverted fullbacks’ playing a key role.
However, defensively, Royal is decent and the former Barcelona defender can fulfil his potential with a move elsewhere.
Recent report from La Gazetta Dello Sport suggests that the defender could be on his way to Italian giants AC Milan who have been very keen to secure his services. The report claims that the player has reached an agreement with the Italian club.
The defender could prove to be the perfect fit for the Rossonneri because of his pace, strength and defensive capabilities.
He can also play as a centre-back and left-back if needed, and can prove to be a versatile addition to the AC Milan squad.
Tottenham were keen to offload Emerson Royal ever since the appointment of Ange Postecoglu, as he wanted to overhaul the Lily White’s squad and the Brazilian wasn’t part of his long term plans.
A number of clubs have been linked with him including both Milan clubs as well as Saudi Arabia but it appears that a move to AC Milan is edging closer.
All that is remaining now is for the Italian side to come to an agreement with Tottenham regarding the transfer fee.
It has been recently reported that Spurs are looking for €20m for the Brazilian.
As the transfer negotiations progress, Tottenham fans will be eager to see how the club reinvests the funds from potential sales, aiming to bolster their squad and align more closely with Postecoglou’s tactical demands.
