Emerson Royal joined the Tottenham Hotspurs in the summer of 2021 after a brief stint at Barcelona. Since his arrival he has played several minutes at the white club, being important, but after getting hurt and the departure of Antonio Conte his future is uncertain.
In the last few hours his representative was clear about the position he has for the player, they are looking for him to go to another team with a different profile: “There is the possibility that Emerson Royal will leave Tottenham. We want this because we believe that it is time for him to take a bigger leap and go to a team that is fighting for titles,” Emerson Zulu, who is also the father of the player, said in the ‘Charla’ podcast. This did not go down well with the Spurs and the player’s environment knows it.

The businessman clarified that there are still no concrete offers but there are approaches: “It can be in the Premier League or outside of it, but it has to be a giant. I think that Real Madrid is the football that best suits his style”, said Zulu.
On the other hand, the player and his entourage have released a statement saying that they are comfortable in the English capital and he remains focused on his team: “I never spoke to him (Emerson Zulu) about it and I always told him that I am happy in Tottenham. As a professional player, I am proud that the team has trusted me and given me the opportunity to prove myself,” he said in a press release.
Tottenham is experiencing difficult times, since before the dismissal of Antonio Conte and the arrival of interim technical director Cristian Stellini. The team has not found a clear course. Without going any further, on the last day of the Premier League, date number 32, the team fell 6-1 against Newcastle.
