Emerson Royal and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

Both players have fallen down the pecking order at the north London club and they need to leave in order to play regularly. According to a report from Corriere Dello Sport, AC Milan could soon begin negotiations with Tottenham regarding the two players. They are keen on signing the Brazilian right-back as well as the Denmark international.

Emerson has been a backup option to Pedro Porro and Hojbjerg has been a squad player this past season. A move to Milan could help them play more often and it remains to be seen whether the Italian outfit can secure an agreement with Spurs.

The North London side need to get rid of their deadwood in order to improve their squad and selling the two players will be a priority for them.

Emerson is capable of operating on both flanks and he could be a useful option at the back for Milan. Hojbjerg has proven himself in the Premier League as well. He would certainly help them improve in the midfield.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs are prepared to sell them for a reasonable price. Emerson is reportedly valued at around €20 million. Hojbjerg could be available for a nominal price as well.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Both players need a fresh start and move to Italy would be ideal for them. Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world and they could provide the two players with the platform to compete for major trophies.
