Real Betis fullback Emerson Royal is being linked with a Premier League move.

Newcastle, Tottenham and Everton are in a three-way Premier League battle for Barcelona youngster Emerson, report Mundo Deportivo.

The 21-year-old has spent the season on loan at Real Betis, but reportedly may seek a permanent move this summer amid Premier League interest.

There is a slight complication in any deal, with Betis owning 50 per cent of the player.

Yet, Barcelona are said to be open to a move to raise funds for any potential signings.
