Atletico Madrid look to make fresh bid for Tottenham full-back Emerson Royal, with the Brazilian having already fallen out of favour under Antonio Conte after just one season

Tottenham Hotspur could be prepared to offload Emerson Royal, with Atletico Madrid in the hunt to land the right-back.

Emerson joined Spurs for £25m from Barcelona last summer as one of Nuno Espirito Santo's summer purchases but despite appearing 44 times across all competitions last season struggled to impress in his first season in north London.

Atletico are now keen to bring the Brazil international back to Spain but thrashing out a deal is far from certain with the north London club.

Cash-strapped Atletico would prefer at the very least an initial loan deal, however Spurs would prefer a permanent transfer if Emerson is to leave the club this summer as a way of securing guaranteed funds.
