Emerson Royal, a Brazilian defender from Barcelona, has been signed by Tottenham for 30m euros (25.8m), on a 5-year contract.
The 22-year old has been at Betis for the past two seasons, scoring five goals in 79 matches.
Emerson, who came to Barca in 2019 from Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro, was a part of Brazil's Copa America run this summer.
He will be competing with Japhet Tanganga and Matt Doherty for the right-back spot at Spurs.
Premier League leaders want to sell Serge Aurier, a full-back.
Emerson played more Betis players last season than any other player, finishing sixth in La Liga to qualify them for the Europa League.
Since his debut in 2019, he has won four caps for the country.
