Tottenham defender Emerson Royal has hit back at claims from his father that he would be 'better suited' at a club like Real Madrid - insisting he has 'never spoken to him' about it.
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.
The Brazilian has suffered from inconsistent displays and the club signed Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon for £40m in January to increase doubt on his future.
