Right-back Emerson Royal of Tottenham Hotspur and Brazil is attracting a lot of attention from top European clubs after losing his starting spot to Pedro Porro
With a playing style ill-suited to manager Ange Postecoglou’s fast-paced attacking system, which relies heavily on inverted full-backs, Royal are set to leave north London
A report from Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport says AC Milan is about to acquire the services of Emerson Royal
The publication claims that the player has reached a personal agreement with the Rossoneri, who see him as a perfect candidate thanks to his pace, strength and defensive ability
Emerson’s versatility, able to play at centre-back or left-back, has further fueled Milan’s interest
All that remains is for the two clubs to agree on the player’s transfer fee
Tottenham initially valued the 25-year-old at 30 million euros, but they could accept 20 million euros to speed up the transfer process and reinvest in their pre-season squad
The Brazilian has been linked with a number of clubs, including Inter Milan as well as several clubs in the Saudi Pro League
However, a move to AC Milan is currently the most likely with only a transfer fee agreement pending
Additionally, Tottenham’s squad overhaul could see more departures, with midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg also linked with a move to Serie A
Napoli’s new boss Antonio Conte is said to want to add the Danish midfielder to his squad, suggesting a busy transfer window for Spurs
