AC Milan have secured the signing of Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.
Emerson, who joined Spurs from Barcelona in August 2021 for £25.8 million, made 101 appearances for the North London club, reaching the milestone in a match against Liverpool at the end of last season.
The 25-year-old defender, who has earned 10 international caps for Brazil, has agreed to a four-year contract with Milan, which includes an option for an additional year.
Despite an initial bid of £8.4 million being rejected by Tottenham, Milan persisted and ultimately won the race to sign Emerson, fending off competition from Borussia Dortmund and several clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Emerson will wear the number 22 shirt for Milan this season. The Serie A club is set to begin their season with a home match against Torino on Saturday.
