Tottenham full-back Emerson Royal is ready to join European giants AC Milan.
The North London club are all set to make quite a few changes to their squad ahead of next season and Emerson Royal is one of the players who has been linked with a move away from the club.
The Brazilian full-back is not considered to be an ideal fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system and Spurs are all set to sanction his departure. AC Milan are the ones who are keen on his signature and according to sport witnes, the former Barcelona star has given his approval to a move to the Italian giants.
The Brazilian right-back is surplus to requirement at Tottenham. While he did feature in 24 matches last term, the majority of those appearances came because of an injury crisis at the back. Emerson still has two years left on his deal at the North London club but they are ready to offload him for €20 million.
AC Milan have been linked with the Brazilian full-back for a while now. The player has already agreed to a transfer to Italy and personal terms are not going to be a problem. With the player available for €20 million, the feeling is that Milan could get the deal done.
However, Emerson is not a priority target for Milan at this point. They are looking to bring in a top-class striker first, as a result, Tottenham’s patience could be tested as they look to offload the Brazilian and bring in a replacement.

Tottenham have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Chelsea star Conor Gallagher
The North London club have a long-standing interest in securing Conor Gallagher’s services. They wanted to sign the Chelsea midfielder last summer as well. But, unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan.
Tottenham retain their interest in the English international but according to a report from HITC,they have suffered a blow as Gallagher has no intentions of leaving his boyhood club and he has made it clear that he won’t be forced out of Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old won’t part ways with the Blues unless he feels it is the right thing to do for his career and at this point, he does not consider leaving Chelsea the right step. With Gallagher’s contract running out in 2025, there is a lot of talk about his future. Contract renewal talks are yet to get underway which is frustrating for the player and his representatives. But, he seems committed to the London club and is ready to pen a new deal if and when he is offered one.
With the player keen on staying at Stamford Bridge, Spurs have suffered a huge blow as they had identified him as their top target for the summer. Gallagher would have been a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system as he can feature in multiple roles in the centre of the park.
Given the kind of performances he put in last season, the 24-year-old would have been a great signing for the North London club but with him not keen on a move, Spurs will have to look at other options in midfield.
