Liverpool transfer battle and Leeds deal perfect for new Spurs right-back move

A new right-back may well feature highly on Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham shopping list this summer. Set to be a key couple of months at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with incomings and outgoings expected to happen, Emerson Royal could be in line to depart for a new challenge elsewhere.

Subject of interest from Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr in January, AC Milan have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. Emerson has served Tottenham well over the past three seasons but this summer may be the time when both parties go their separate ways.




Pedro Porro has performed really well in Postecoglou’s system and has played a big role for the Lilywhites in the final third by contributing with goals and assists. However, it is very noticeable when he isn’t in the team as Emerson unfortunately cannot offer what the Spaniard does in terms of coming inside and operating from there.

In order for Tottenham to keep on pushing up the league table and challenge for major honours, Postecoglou will want to add some more quality to his ranks as the team look to improve on their fifth-place finish in 2023/24. So who exactly could Tottenham look at when it comes to a Porro alternative? football.london takes a look below.

Kyle Walker-Peters (Southampton)

Kyle Walker-Peters will be playing Premier League football once again next season following Southampton’s return to the top flight at the first time of asking. The Tottenham academy graduate enjoyed a very successful campaign at St Mary’s and he was a pivotal figure in Russell Martin’s team, notably chipping in with three goals and three assists from his full-back berth.

Certainly a better player than when he left Spurs for the south coast in 2020, the Edmonton-born ace may in fact be a good option for Spurs right now as they look to bring in an alternative to Porro. What would also play into the Lilywhites’ hands if they move for Walker-Peters is that he is classed as homegrown and a club-trained player, which is something Tottenham need to be mindful of heading into the new season due to their return to Europe.
