Fulham have asked AC Milan about the availability of their Brazilian full-back Emerson Royal as they consider signing a new right back during the January window with Kenny Tete out injured.

The Times’ Peter Rutzler reveals that the former Tottenham right back is one of Marco Silva’s top targets should the Whites opt to bring in competition for Timothy Castagne before the end of the transfer window. Royal would likely to be looking to leave the San Siro should Milan succeed in luring Kyle Walker from Manchester City. A loan deal until the end of the season looks most likely.
