Report: Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle, West Ham want Brazilian right-back Emerson

According to reports from Spanish newspaper Sport, four Premier League clubs are showing keen interest in signing Brazilian right-back Emerson this summer.

The report claims that Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, West Ham, and Newcastle United have all initiated contact with Barcelona over signing the defender.

The 21-year-old is a highly-rated youngster but Barcelona are not entirely convinced with him. He has spent the last 18 months on loan at Real Betis where he impressed. He managed 31 appearances in all competitions for the La Liga outfit, but Barcelona feel that he is not yet ready to play for the senior side.
