Emerson Royal will continue at Tottenham beyond the 1st February cut-off after the club rejected an offer from Saudi side Al-Nassr, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest episode of Football Insider’s Insider Track Podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke said that Spurs are unwilling to let him leave after he has developed as a crucial player for Ange Postecoglou.
It is reported that the Lilywhites were ready to offload the Brazilian last summer, but the management has changed his mind and now wants to keep him after his powerful displays.
The 25-year-old was out of favour last season, but he excelled during Spurs’ injury crisis, stepping in throughout the backline and contributing to vital wins.
He has made 21 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring on the first day of the season against Brentford.
According to Football Insider, their January business would likely be completed after they complete their deal for Antonio Nusa, implying Emerson will stay in north London for the rest of the season.
According to Football Insider (24 January), Tottenham are likely to make Club Brugge wonderkid Nusa their final signing of the January window.
Tottenham are reported to be pleased with their winter business, having already signed Radu Dragusin on a permanent basis and loaned Timo Werner for the remainder of the season.
Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table following their 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Sunday, January 14.
They face Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup at home on Friday evening (January 26).
