Hint on future
Emerson Royal has dropped a hint on his Tottenham Hotspur future in his message to Richarlison on Twitter.
The defender wants to play with his Brazil international teammate at Tottenham next season, and it shows that he does not want to leave this summer.
The 23-year-old, who has been playing as a right wing-back at Tottenham under head coach Antonio Conte, has been linked with moves away from the North London club in the summer transfer window.
The Times reported last month that Atletico Madrid are interested in Emerson, and that Conte is happy for Tottenham to sell him.
La Liga club Atletico have reportedly been in talks over a transfer, but Sky Sports reported this week that Tottenham have now decided to keep Emerson.
