New Spurs signing Emerson Royal is finally at Hotspur Way and sporting the club’s shirt.

Tottenham completed a £25million deal for the Barcelona right-back on transfer deadline day.

Emerson completed his Spurs medical in Spain and jetted to England on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Tottenham shared photos of the Brazil international at the club’s training ground, including ones where he holds and wears the Spurs shirt.

And Spurs fans loved what they saw:

Emerson will now hope to be a part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Crystal Palace.

Arsenal were linked with the 22-year-old as well over the summer.

Spurs newcomer Emerson – the story so far

Emerson was born in Sao Paulo in 1999 and played for several clubs at youth level before coming through the ranks at Porte Preta in 2016.

He made his debut in 2017 and, the following year, joined Brazilian giants Atletico Mineiro, making 23 league appearances.

Emerson was on the move again in 2018 when Barcelona came calling.

As part of a joint deal between Barca and Real Betis, the 22-year-old would play for the latter club first, for two seasons.

The Blaugrana held the option of buying him outright for €6million (around £5.2million) in 2021, which they recently took up.

Emerson was a regular for Manuel Pellegrini last season and helped Betis reach the Europa League, providing 10 assists in the process.
