A report by CalcioMercato has now revealed another player the Toffees have some level of interest in, saying they have a player… Talks have been held with the agent of Milan right-back Emerson Royal. Emerson is set to leave the San Siro this month, and there are a number of clubs vying for his signature, including Fulham and Galatasaray, however the latter club is leading the race for his signature.
There is still time for Everton to score, with the Turkish club yet to meet Milan's €15m (£13m) valuation, and there are signs that the Brazilian is keen on a move to Goodson Park. Although joining Galatasaray has somewhat revitalized the 26-year-old, his preference would be to return to the Premier League, having spent time at Tottenham Hotspur.
What Emerson can offer Everton
The former Tottenham man has particularly impressed with his involvement over the past year, ranking first in Percentile 89 for tackles per 90, compared to his positional peers, while also placing in the 81st percentile for passes and 83rd for Aerials wins.
Ange Postecoglou was full of praise As for the right-hander's slump before his move to Milan, the Australian noted that he is a great player who should strengthen the team's spirit: “I see them on a daily basis, others don't, but if you watched Emerson Royal train every day, you'd think he plays every game.
“He's great with his attitude and demeanor around the place. There's no time for anyone to get discouraged.”
With Coleman nearing the end of his career, there are signs that Emerson could be a suitable long-term replacement at right-back, but the Toffees will have to move quickly, given Galatasaray is on the pole as things get closer.
