Emerson Royal could become the next right-back for Tottenham. Journalist Fabrizio Romano and Spanish journalists report that Tottenham have reached an agreement with Barcelona for Emerson's transfer. The transfer fee is reported to be 30 million euros, including bonuses. The London club still needs to reach an agreement with the player himself, but according to Fabrizio Romano, only details remain and an agreement is close. This summer, Emerson officially moved to Barcelona, but now it seems that his stay in Catalonia will not be long. In the last La Liga match, he started in the lineup. This summer, Emerson was also with the Brazil national team in the Copa America tournament, and in the last two seasons playing for Real Betis, the 23-year-old defender made 10 assists and scored 4 goals. However, defense is one of the strongest aspects of this Brazilian player, so his offensive statistics may not tell the whole story.
