Players are coming and going at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, but one man who seems primed for an exit has taken to social media to reveal he is back in training with the club.
Despite heavy speculation linking Emerson Royal with a move away from Spurs, namely to AC Milan, the Brazilian defender has shared a post on Instagram announcing he is at Hotspur Way once more to train with the first-team.
On the social media channel, Royal posted a number of photos of himself in training, smiling, involved in drills, and reuniting with his teammates.
He captioned the post, “The king is back,” followed by a laughing emoji. Clearly, the summer break has not affected Royal’s sense of humour.
Royal is thought to be heading to AC Milan this summer. However, reports suggest a £12m bid has been turned down by Spurs already, with the North London side holding out for closer to £17m (CalcioMercato).
Fabrizio Romano claimed fresh talks are set to take place in the coming days, with Royal already believed to have agreed on a five-year-long deal with the Italian giants.
Royal is not thought to have a place in Ange Postecoglou‘s squad for the coming season, despite offering plenty of flexibility and defensive cover across the back four in 24 appearances last term (Transfermarkt).
The signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United, who can operate in the full-back role, could well have sealed the end of Royal’s tenure at Tottenham.
Spurs Web Opinion
You’ve got to love Emerson Royal’s humour. He does look happy to be back at Spurs, too, and he’s clearly enjoyed his time at the club over the years.
In terms of personality, he’s a great player to have around, but his ability is just not up to scratch, sadly.
