AliousAC Milan’s senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic has expressed his enthusiasm for the signing of Emerson Royal, stating that the former Tottenham player is an ideal fit for the club’s requirements.
After prolonged negotiations, Tottenham and AC Milan finally reached an agreement for Emerson’s transfer, reportedly worth £13 million.
The Brazilian right-back’s strong desire to join the Italian club was crucial in finalizing the deal before the new season began.
Ibrahimovic praised Emerson’s qualities, describing him as a physical player with both offensive and defensive capabilities, who plays with high intensity and determination.
The Swedish icon emphasized that Emerson’s arrival strengthens the team further and fulfills one of their primary transfer market objectives.
According to Ibrahimovic, Emerson was chosen for his ability to balance attack and defense, making him an ideal fit for manager Paulo Fonseca’s tactical approach.
The advisor noted that while he personally prefers more offensive full-backs, Emerson’s versatility in both phases of play is crucial.
The 25-year-old defender is expected to adapt well to Serie A and thrive in Fonseca’s four-man defensive system, potentially revitalizing his career after a challenging period at Tottenham.
