Spurs set to sign Emerson and Traore one to keep an eye on on deadline day

Tottenham’s deadline day

It could be a busy day in north London, with several deals still in the pipeline. Here are the ones to keep an eye on.

Emerson Royal set to join

First of all, Brazilian full-back Emerson Royal is set to join Tottenham from Barcelona in a deal worth 30 million euros.

The 22-year-old will compete for right-back, and it is certainly worth keeping an eye on the situations of Matt Doherty and Serge Aurier, with four right-backs currently on the books heading into the final day.

However, Emerson is a cut above current options, and will certainly add some quality to Nuno Espirito Santo’s backline.

Traore set to stay at Wolves

However, one player who will seemingly not be leaving the club is Wolves winger Adama Traore, with Tottenham thought to be interested. However, as per The Athletic, unless the hefty 50 million pound price tag is met in the coming hours, he will be remaining at Molineux.

🚨 Adama Traore not expected to leave today – would take a massive offer (about £50m) from Tottenham or anyone else to get the 25yo winger. Renato Sanches loan currently at deadlock over club-to-club terms & rated at 50/50 @TheAthleticUK #WWFC #DeadlineDay https://t.co/MfniPdhVON

Wolves fans will be very happy to see Traore staying at the club, with the 25 year old having impressed in the opening three games of the season despite not scoring. It seems unlikely he will be leaving on deadline day.

Aouar to keep an eye on

One to keep an eye on is Houssem Aouar, the Lyon midfielder who has also been attracting interest from Arsenal. The midfielder is thought to be available on a loan with an obligation to buy, which could suit both sides.

Tottenham have been offered the chance of signing Houssem Aouar as new midfielder, Arsenal too. First answer from Spurs has been clear: he’s NOT a priority, so no talks and no bid as of now. Same for McKennie. ⚪️🇫🇷 #THFC

…but Aouar will be one to keep an eye on till the end.

With suitors few and far between, and Lyon desperate for a fee for their man, Spurs could steal a bargain.
