Player admits he will have a meeting with Spurs in ‘next few days’ about a potential transfer
Emerson Royal has been discussing his next move as speculation mounts that he will be leaving Spurs this summer, but the Brazilian defender says he is not thinking about that just now.
Emerson Royal will make a decision very soon
While the rumour mill continues to turn for Royal, with heavy links to AC Milan, the Spurs man admitted he may need to leave the Premier League club to achieve his goals with Brazil, but insisted the transfer is not on his mind at the moment as he is on holiday.
Speaking to UOL, Royal was asked about what his future holds, and said: “I’ve asked my agents not to talk to me about these issues for now because I’m on holiday, I recently got married and I want to enjoy this moment.
“I’ll have to have a meeting with them in the next few days because it’s a very important decision that I have to make now.”
Emerson Royal wants to break into the Brazil team
He also touched on his motivations, with an international recall high on the list of priorities, and added: “In life nothing is easy, I’ve always fought to be in the national team and I will be. My next steps next season will be based on that.
“Whether I stay at Tottenham or leave, it’s always about playing for my place in the national team. I’m going to fight for that.”
Earlier this week, Royal confirmed talks have begun with AC Milan regarding a switch to Italy, describing the idea of that interest as ‘gratifying’ given the club’s legacy of employing top Brazilian players (Andre Hernan’s YouTube channel).
