eport: A £25 million player has told Tottenham that he does not want to leave today.

According to the Evening Standard, Emerson Royal has informed Tottenham Hotspur that he does not wish to leave the club before today’s deadline.

Spurs are closing in on the signing of Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the player is set to sign a contract extension until 2028.

With the Spaniard set to become Tottenham’s latest signing, two of the club’s options at right wing-back appear set to leave on loan.

Both Matt Doherty and Djed Spence appear to be on their way out of the club today, with the Irishman in talks with Atletico Madrid and the youngster having his medical at Stade Rennais.

And it appears that Emerson has stayed in north London because he refused to leave the club earlier this month.

Emerson told Tottenham he doesn’t want to leave

Emerson made it clear to Tottenham that he did not want to leave the Premier League or London this month, according to The Evening Standard.

The Brazilian seemed like the obvious choice in terms of the wing-back that would depart in the event that Spurs wrap up a deal for Porro.

The £25 million man has struggled to adapt to playing in Conte’s system and Doherty has arguably shown more of an attacking threat for Spurs.

But it seems that Emerson is clearly enjoying life in north London, even if Tottenham fans aren’t particularly enjoying his performances.

Conte now has two very different options at wing-back, according to TBR.
While Spurs fans have grown frustrated with Emerson’s lack of offensive output, he has been a dependable defender.

Porro, who has 11 assists and three goals for Sporting this season, will be a significant upgrade in the attacking department.

Conte, on the other hand, now has two very different options at right wing-back, which will be ideal for the Italian when it comes to game management.
