“Done deal” Romano confirms latest Tottenham signing

It is transfer deadline day and already Tottenham has completed a transfer according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs have signed Barcelona right-back Emerson Royal for a fee of €30m including add ons. An official announcement will be made later this afternoon and the deal runs until June 2026.

This acquisition must surely spell the end for Serge Aurier and it is very likely that he will be jettisoned at some point today.

It is also unlikely that this is the last piece of business done by the club in this transfer window. You can expect some more incoming and outgoings and probably right up until the last minute of the transfer window.

Royal is highly regarded, however, he never made a breakthrough at Barcelona and spent most of his time in La Liga with Real Betis, it is always a little concern when players are rejected by elite clubs but that does not mean he will not be a success in north London.
