Right-back Emerson Royal is expected to land in Italy later on Sunday to formally complete his move from Tottenham to Milan.

The 25-year-old is also expected to complete his medical tests with the Rossoneri on Sunday, and will then be ready to get down to work with his new teammates ahead of the return of Serie A action next weekend. 

The former Barcelona defender still needs to pose for the customary photographs and conduct his first media duties, but an official announcement is expected to follow shortly afterwards. 

Emerson has agreed to a four-year contract with the option of a fifth in San Siro, having agreed on personal terms several weeks ago. 

Milan and Tottenham stretch the negotiations out, though, and a final agreement was only struck at the end of the working week. 

The latest reports suggest that Milan will pay Spurs an initial fee of €15, plus an additional €2m in bonuses to bring Emerson over to Serie A.
