Emerson Royal has been confirmed as Tottenham's fifth signing of the summer.
So far strengthening with Pierluigi Gollini, Cristian Romero, Bryan Gil and Pape Matar Sarr all signing on the dotted line, Fabio Paratici has added the right-back to the ranks as part of his squad overhaul ahead of this evening's 11pm transfer deadline.
The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until 2026, with the Lilywhites paying 30million euros for his services.
The addition of the Brazilian now means that Tottenham have four right-backs on the books with Emerson joining Japhet Tanganga, Serge Aurier and Matt Doherty in N17.
Spurs have looked to move on either Aurier or Doherty with Emerson coming in but have so far not found any takers for the experienced duo.
Tottenham's new signing will wear the No.12 shirt during his time in north London, taking on the number after it was vacated by Joe Hart this summer following his exit to Celtic.
Victor Wanyama was the previous owner of the jersey before joining MLS side CF Montreal in March 2020.
Emerson's move to Tottenham is in fact his second transfer in three months after finally linking up with Barca at the start of June.
Signed in a joint deal by both Barcelona and Real Betis back in 2019, the youngster had spent the past three seasons on loan with Los Verdiblancos before finally becoming a Barca player in June.
Emerson will travel over to the capital from Spain later this week and he doesn't have to spend a period in quarantine following his travels.
Tottenham's next Premier League game against Crystal Palace after the international break could potentially see the Brazil international make his debut for the Lilywhites.
