Tottenham are open to keeping defender Emerson Royal but have scoured the market for contingency options should he leave.

The club have already rejected an opening 10m euros (£8.4m) bid from AC Milan for the Brazil international.

One player being considered is 22-year-old Brest defender Bradley Locko, who is in France's squad for the Olympics.

However, the club's priority remains signing a forward after the arrival of midfielders Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, with Timo Werner's loan move from RB Leipzig also being extended.
