Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal is a target for AC Milan this summer, and the two clubs are locked in talks over a potential move.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham will hold a final round of talks with AC Milan for Emerson Royal. The 25-year-old utility man has not been a key player for Tottenham since joining the club, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time.
Emerson Royal needs to leave Tottenham
The Brazilian cannot afford to sit on the bench at the North London club at this stage of his career. Emerson could be a useful acquisition for the Italian club, and he is versatile enough to operate as a full-back on both flanks.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will look to cash in on him and use the proceeds from his departure to improve their squad. Spurs will look to push for trophies this season, and they have secured Europa League qualification as well. They will need more options at their disposal to do well across multiple competitions. Signing quality players will help them improve next term.
Meanwhile, AC Milan need to add more quality and depth through their defensive unit and have pushed hard for Emerson Royal’s signature. The 25-year-old Brazilian has proven himself in La Liga and the Premier League. He has the physical and technical attributes to succeed in Serie A as well.
Furthermore, AC Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be quite tempting. He will hope to win major trophies with them in the upcoming seasons. The Rossoneri will be able to provide him with regular game time, and that would be ideal for the South American defender. Emerson is still relatively young, and he could improve further with regular game time and coaching.
Will the AC Milan move work for Emerson?
Regular exposure in Italy could help the 25-year-old defender improve tactically, and he will look to force his way into the Brazilian national team’s starting lineup in the coming season as well. The defender is still only 25, and he has his best years ahead of himself. It will be interesting to see if he can establish himself as an indispensable asset for the Italian club. Meanwhile, Tottenham have Pedro Porro as the first-choice right-back at the club and Djed Spence is expected to compete with him next season.
