'I think he fits a giant like Real Madrid': Emerson Royal's agent and father claims his son will leave Tottenham this summer and is 'better suited' to the Spanish giants...but the defender is quick to deny he wants move away from Spurs

The father of Tottenham's Emerson Royal has claimed that his son would be 'better suited' at a club like Real Madrid.

Royal has struggled to hold down a regular starting place at Spurs since signing from Barcelona for £25.8 million in 2021, and is currently on the sidelines nursing a knee injury he suffered while on international duty with Brazil.

In January Spurs drafted in Pedro Porro to play in Royal's right wing-back slot putting his future at the club in doubt.

Now, the 24-year-old's father has stated that his son's services would be better served elsewhere, eyeing a big summer move for defender.
