  • Nassr made January bid for Tottenham right-back
  • Bayern Munich and AC Milan also monitoring defender
  • Unclear if Spurs are willing to sell

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Per The Sun, Al-Nassr will try again for the Brazilian when the transfer window opens, after their advances were rebuffed in January. Emerson has fallen down the pecking order at Tottenham under Ange Postecoglou and has made just 11 Premier League starts this season, with Pedro Porro regularly preferred at right-back.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Along with Nassr, there is said to be interest in Emerson from both AC Milan and Bayern Munich. The latter, of course, have done business with Spurs recently, signing both Harry Kane and Eric Dier.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Emerson's contract with Spurs expires in 2026, and it remains to be seen if the club will be willing to do business, given that he provides useful backup for Porro. He has played at both right-back and left-back this season, but rumours have linked Tottenham with a deal to re-sign former star Kyle Walker-Peters from Southampton, suggesting they may be open to the Brazilian's departure.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Spurs conclude their season on Sunday against Sheffield United. A win will ensure they finish fifth, and qualify for the Europa League next term.
