Agent of Tottenham star talks up desire of a summer move to Real Madrid 

Emerson Royal’s father and agent, Emerson Zulu, has suggested that his son wants to leave Tottenham this summer and make the step up to a ‘giant club’ that competes for titles.

Until a few months ago, Emerson was a figure who largely frustrated the Tottenham fan base and who was looked at as a bit of a laughing stock by opposition supporters at times.

However, the right-back managed to turn things around, with the increased competition after the arrival of Pedro Porro in January seemingly bringing the best out of him.

Just when he was going through a purple patch, Emerson suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Brazil last month and subsequently had to have surgery to fix the problem (The Independent).

The 23-year-old is now thought to be nearing a return, with the game against Crystal Palace on May 6 being reported as a potential comeback date for the former Real Betis man (Football.London).

Emerson’s father has now suggested that his son could be on his way out of North London this summer, naming Real Madrid as a club where the right-back would fit in well.

Zulu said on the Charla Podcast (as translated by AS): “There is a strong possibility that Emerson will leave Tottenham. We want that.

“We believe that it is time for him to take a bigger leap and go to a team that is fighting for trophies. A giant club. I think he would fit in at Real Madrid.”

They say parents can sometimes be blind to the faults of their own kids and this statement by Zulu is evidence of that being the case.

It is safe to say that Real Madrid will not be knocking on Tottenham’s door with a big-money offer for Emerson this summer.
