Barcelona’s financial problems look to have allowed Spurs to swoop in and sign a very highly-rated right-back.
Emerson will add further competition to the back line, however, Spurs still need additions further up the field which could pose to be a problem due to Tanguy Ndombele’s current situation, where he is likely to remain at the club with no interested party expected to meet Daniel Levy’s valuation.
