Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly one of four Premier League clubs that have made contact with Barcelona for Brazil international Emerson ahead of the summer window – and Spurs fans have responded on Twitter.

Spanish outlet Sport have claimed that Tottenham have opened talks to sign 21-year-old right-back Emerson, who is currently impressing on loan at Real Betis – and is yet to make a single senior appearance for his parent club.

However, Spurs are not alone in their pursuit of the one-time Brazil international. West Ham United, Everton and Newcastle United are also said to have made contact over a move to sign the right-back.

Signed by Barcelona from Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro, Emerson has been on loan at Real Betis for the past 18 months and has clocked up 35 appearances in all competitions – scoring three goals and creating five more.

Spurs do have Serge Aurier, but the Ivorian is continually criticised for his performances, while Kyle Walker-Peters could be sold this summer as he remains on loan at Southampton. Barcelona are said to want just £17.5million for Emerson.

Tottenham supporters have reacted on Twitter to the reported news that their club have made contact with Barcelona for the Brazil international. Many feel he would be a good addition.
