Italian giants close in on signing of Spurs defender

 

AC Milan have moved a step closer to completing the signing of Tottenham defender Emerson Royal, according to Sky in Italy.

 

The Serie A side are claimed to have improved their offer for the Brazilian full-back following an injury to Alessandro Florenzi during pre-season. 

 

 

Milan are now expected to agree a deal with Tottenham in the region of €15 million for the 25-year-old. 

 

Emerson joined Spurs from Barcelona in 2021, making 26 league starts in his first season at the club. 

 

The Brazilian was relied upon under ex-Spurs boss Antonio Conte, but has seen game time limited under Ange Postecoglou, with only 11 league starts last term.
