Italian full-back Emerson Royal is reportedly just £1 million away from joining Tottenham Hotspur. The 22-year-old has been in scintillating form for Atalanta, with his impressive displays catching the eye of Premier League clubs. According to Sky Sports, Spurs are leading the chase for the talented defender and are confident that a deal can be struck within the next few days. Emerson Royal’s current club, Atalanta, is said to be willing to sell him, but only if they receive a substantial offer. The Italian outfit values their player at around £12 million, which is significantly higher than Spurs’ initial bid of £11 million. However, with reports suggesting that Tottenham are prepared to meet Atalanta’s asking price, it appears that Emerson Royal could soon be plying his trade in the Premier League. If the deal goes through, the Brazilian-born defender would become Antonio Conte’s third summer signing at the club, following Richarlison and Djed Spence.
