Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly open to selling 25-year-old right-back Emerson Royal in the summer transfer window.
Emerson Royal joined Tottenham Hotspur from Barcelona, but he has not been able to hold down a regular starting spot. A report from Football Insider has claimed that Spurs are prepared to cash in on the Brazilian international if an important offer is submitted.
The 25-year-old is currently the backup right-back at Tottenham, and he is unlikely to get regular opportunities. A move away from the North London club could be ideal for the player as well. Pedro Porro is currently the first-choice right-back at the club.
Tottenham need to add more depth to the central defensive unit, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to raise funds by selling Emerson. The 25-year-old defender needs to play more often at this stage of his career and a move away from the North London club could be ideal for him.
Emerson’s performances have been quite mediocre since moving to the Premier League, and he has been very inconsistent for Tottenham. It is hardly a surprise that they are prepared to cash in on him. The Brazilian defender is still only 25, and he has plenty of time to get his career back on track with regular football.
A move away from Tottenham would be ideal for him and it could help him get back to his best. He has clearly fallen down the pecking order at the North London club, and it would be ideal for the two parties to go their separate ways.
Emerson Royal could be a useful player for another club
The 25-year-old is versatile enough to operate as a right-back as well as a left-back. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for most clubs next season. He has been linked with Juventus in the past. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to accept a reasonable offer for him.
He is not a key player for the North London club, and it is highly unlikely that any club would be willing to pay a premium for him. It will be interesting to see where the former Barcelona defender ends up. Meanwhile, Spurs will have to bring in another right-back if they decide to sell Emerson in the summer.
They cannot afford to go into a new season with Porro as the only right-back in the side. Spurs might be in the Champions League next season, and they will need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions. Keeping the Brazilian at the club could prove to be a wise decision for now unless there is a lucrative proposal on the table.
