Emerson Royal does not want to leave Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, according to Football.London.

Juventus target Emerson Royal wants Tottenham Hotspur stay

Football.London have reported that Emerson is enjoying himself at Tottenham and is popular among his teammates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Brazil international right-back ‘as no real desire to leave’ Spurs this summer, according to the report.

This will come as a blow to Juventus.

Earlier this month, CMW reported Juventus are interested in signing Emerson from Tottenham in the summer transfer window.

Staying at Spurs

In our view, it would make sense for Emerson Royal to stay at Tottenham Hotspur for at least another season.

After all, the 23-year-old moved to Spurs from Barcelona only last summer.

Yes, Emerson was not exactly great as a right wing-back under head coach Antonio Conte last season, but it is a position that he is still getting used to.

It takes time for players to learn new positions, especially when the season has started and the stakes are high.

Moreover, Emerson is only 23, so we have to be patient with him.

The Tottenham player made 26 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League last season.

Emerson scored one goal and gave one assist in those games.
