Barcelona, immersed in a huge economic reconstruction, sold Emerson Royal to Tottenham last summer. They needed a monetary injection and the Spurs, in search of an offensive right back, did not hesitate. Thus, Emerson’s stage at Barça lasted just two months, as the azulgrana had incorporated him from Betis, with whom he shared property and where he took his first steps in Europe.

When the offer arrived, from Barcelona they did not hesitate for a moment, as is understood from what was published by the Telegraph. And it is that, in the words of the British medium, “Tottenham terminated Aurier’s contract to make room for Emerson Royal, for whom, according to sources consulted, Barcelona still cannot believe that Spurs offered 30 million euros”.
The Blaugrana team managed, in this way, a capital gain of about ten million euros by a footballer whose position, at that time, was well covered by Sergiño Dest, Sergi Roberto and Óscar Mingueza. Months later, the first has the exit door open and a replacement is being sought, with Mazraoui, from Ajax, as the main favorite.
Holder and competition is sought
EAs far as Emerson and Tottenham are concerned, the bet has paid off. Nuno Espirito Santo signed him, but the arrival of Antonio Conte has not made him lose importance in the schemes. Undisputed in the Premier, being Starter in 13 of the 14 rounds that he has been available, the Brazilian has beaten Matt Doherty by minutes. Of course, the Spurs will go hard for Adama Traoré to compete with our protagonist. If the Spanish international arrives, the competition will be fierce.
