[Tottenham newest updates…](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-newest-updates/) As things stand, Conte is set for his first full season in charge over 22/23 and the next window could prove pivotal as Chelsea’s ex-boss looks to reshapes the Spurs team. The 52-year-old, according to reliable reports, has already made a decision on club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele with journalist [Dan Kilpatrick](https://twitter.com/Dan_KP/status/1512371237087031298?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) claiming Conte sees ‘no future’ for the Lyon loanee. Following a latest Spurs development, it appears the Lilywhites head coach has now made another exit decision – this time surrounding defender Emerson Royal. \[freshpress-quiz id=”383375″\] ### The Latest: Conte makes major Royal call… The Brazilian, signed just last summer by transfer chief Fabio Paratici, has actually featured regularly over the last fortnight – starting Spurs’ last two Premier League games and even getting on the scoresheet in a 5-1 win over Newcastle United. Despite this, Conte has now made his decision, with [Spanish sources](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/fichajes-atletico-emerson-deja-20220408.html) claiming Spurs and their manager are ‘not happy’ with Royal’s performances. The report adds that Tottenham’s right-back ‘is going to be one of the players who leaves’ this summer with Paratici’s 2021 acquisition set for an exit. Spurs are set to demand[€25 million (£21m)](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/fichajes-atletico-emerson-deja-20220408.html) – the same amount they paid to Barcelona for Royal’s services – with suitors Atletico Madrid, as per this update, actually willing to pay it. ### The Verdict: Right call? The South American, still only 23-year-old, has [drawn comparisons](https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/the-new-alves-all-you-need-to-know-about-spurs-target-emerson-royal/) to some of Brazil’s greatest ever defenders – including a certain Daniel Alves. Royal’s potential is arguably still there and his [performance against Newcastle](https://www.sofascore.com/player/emerson-royal/856123) comes as a fine example of just how he could still improve under Conte. Alas, the former Inter Milan manager is apparently keen to sign a more attacking wing-back for his system, as also backed by a January report in [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-considering-fresh-approach-for-adama-traore/8OHBdqVsYX1j/). La Liga expert and former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell, speaking to[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/la-liga-expert-tottenham-fans-should-be-thrilled-by-incredible-emerson-signing-and-this-is-why/) after Royal signed for Spurs, claimed Paratici had brought in a ‘perfect’ and ‘relentless’ full-back. Conte, as per the latest, really doesn’t seem to agree with the former Real Betis star now allegedly closer to leaving north London after just one year. ***In other news: In recent weeks: Tottenham step up chase for ‘incredible’ player as club brace for their bid!
