# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans urge club to complete Nelson Semedo transfer

**Tottenham Hotspur are considering making a €36 million (£31 million) offer for Barcelona right-back Nelson Semedo, that is according to a report from [El Desmarque](https://eldesmarque.com/madrid/real-madrid/noticias/181431-mourinho-paga-y-se-lo-lleva-florentino-perez-no-mueve-un-dedo-hay-acuerdo-ed).**

Right-back is an area that Jose Mourinho may look to improve this month, especially after a report from the [Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-want-kyle-walker-peters-tottenham-defender-loan-a4329776.html) suggested that one of their two players in that position, Kyle Walker-Peters, could be set to move on loan to Crystal Palace.

That would leave just Serge Aurier as their only recognised right-back, so it would seem logical for them to bring in another to ensure they are not short.

Semedo has been a regular for Barcelona this season, making 20 combined appearances in La Liga and the Champions League, 15 of which were starts ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/nelson-semedo/leistungsdaten/spieler/231572)).

Looking at the 26-year-old’s statistics, he actually excels in a number of areas. Indeed, on average he wins 60% of his total duels per game, is dribbled past 0.4 times and only loses possession 7.8 times per match ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/nelson-semedo/252821)).

Meanwhile, Aurier only wins 58% of his total duels, is dribbled past 1.0 time per game and crucially loses possession a lot more, 16.3 times to be exact ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/serge-aurier/105697)).

It seems that many Spurs fans would love to see Semedo signed, here is what some had to say on Twitter…
