Tottenham’s move to sell Emerson Royal is part of their bigger plan to boost the team for next season. They’ve already got Pedro Porro and Djed Spence for right-back, but they want to add even more strength in that position.

Plus, with Archie Gray recently joining the squad, they've got more options for right-back, giving manager Ange Postecoglou some extra flexibility.

With the transfer window moving along, it's clear that Tottenham Hotspur is serious about strengthening their defense. Offloading Emerson Royal shows they’re serious about building a stronger squad for next season.

Fans and analysts will be keeping a close eye on how Tottenham's transfer plans shape up and if they can land the right players to hit their targets.
