Spurs worked hard in the days leading up to deadline day at the end of last month to agree a fee with Barcelona for Emerson.

 

The Premier League side also had to convince the Brazilian to make the move to England, something he was initially reluctant to do as he had just landed at the Camp Nou following a spell at Real Betis.

 

 

Emerson is now at Spurs’ training base and is delighted with the welcome he has received.

 

The full-back has vowed to repay Tottenham for the faith they have shown in him.

 

 

He posted a photograph on social media and wrote: “The day after Spurs’ birthday, I proudly arrived at this club, that welcomed me with arms wide open!

 

“I am very grateful and will give it back, for sure, with all my strength”, Emerson added.

 

 

All eyes will be on when the defender is handed his Tottenham debut by Nuno as he looks to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
