Tottenham hailed for sealing Emerson transfer at a really good price

By Bruce Grove -

Noel Whelan has hailed Tottenham for taking advantage of Barcelona’s financial struggles to land Emerson Royal in this transfer window.

Spurs have just completed the signing of the impressive Brazilian right-back as Barca looked to cash in on several of their players.

The full-back has spent the last two seasons at Real Betis who co-owned him with the Catalans, but Barca bought all the rights this summer.

He was in fine form at the Seville club and he will look to help Tottenham finally get rid of mistakes and inconsistency in that position on their team.

Nuno Santo has reportedly turned down signing him before now, but he comes into the Tottenham squad much improved and at 22 he can only get better.

Former Premier League star, Whelan is impressed by the transfer and says Tottenham has done well to take good advantage of Barcelona’s struggles to get their man.

“Right now, you’re looking at a club who are financially struggling,” Whelan told Football Insider.

“They need to get players off the wage bill and get some money back in.

“It won’t make any dent in the finances really, it’s very scary to see just how in debt Barcelona are.

“I think sometimes you can strike when the iron is hot when clubs are looking to get rid of players, and that’s what Tottenham have done.

“You can get them at a really good price and you know the brilliant quality you will be getting from Barcelona.”

We will find out if it’s a good price buy Christmas I suppose.
At least he has turned up not injured and not flying off to international duty already.
