ATLETICO MADRID are interested in signing Tottenham’s Emerson Royal - if the price is right.

SunSport revealed Spurs are willing to listen to offers for the Brazilian defender this summer.

That is less than a year after buying him from Barcelona for £26million.

Atletico are keen on providing him with a route back to Spain.

However, only for less money than the North Londoners paid for him in August.

And the player is said to be keen on the switch if he is no longer wanted by Spurs.

Atletico are prepared to pay around £20m for the star.

Emerson has registered just one assist in the Premier League this season.

And he has now lost his right wing-back place in the Tottenham team to Matt Doherty in recent weeks.

Meanwhile the resurgent Doherty has scored one goal and three assists in his last two top flight matches.

He joined on a five-year deal and has made 17 Premier League starts for the club.
