Tottenham could welcome a new face to their squad as the spotlight turns to the Premier League this weekend.
The Spurs are back in action with a trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday, September 11, at 12:30 pm and live exclusively on talkSPORT, and they look forward to having new signing Emerson Royal available for selection.
Emerson was Spurs’ fifth signing of the season
The North Londoners completed their £ 25 million deal for Barcelona’s right-back on the day of the deadline, signing him to a contract that runs through the summer of 2026.
Having traveled to the capital last week, the Spurs will see when the 22-year-old could make his club debut with the trip to Selhurst Park as a genuine possibility.
Provided the player has completed his mandatory self-isolation period after traveling from Spain, Emerson should be in contention to face the Eagles on Saturday.

Emerson joins the revolution of Nuno Espirito Santo in the Spurs
If the clash with Patrick Viera’s team comes too early, the Brazilian could make his debut the following week when Tottenham host Chelsea on Sunday 19 September.
Emerson couldn’t hide his excitement about moving to the Spurs, turning to social media when completing his move.
The hope will surely be that the right-back can have an immediate impact following the decision to relieve Serge Aurier.
The right-back was allowed to leave the Spurs by mutual consent, meaning there is a vacancy on Nuno Espirito Santo’s team for Emerson, if he can prove himself in training before the Palace clash.
Tottenham will look to continue their perfect start to the new season in which they have won all three games so far this season.
That included wins over Manchester City, Wolves and Watford, whom they faced shortly before the international break.
