Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha this summer.
The 30-year-old has struggled for regular game time at the German club, and he is expected to be on the move this summer.
Tottenham want Joao Palhinha
Tottenham are prepared to bring him back to the Premier League, and they want to sign him for £20 million, as per TBR Football. The German champions are holding out for £30 million, and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can come to an agreement.
The Portuguese International played his best football in England with Fulham, and returning to the Premier League could be ideal. Tottenham will be able to help him regain his form and confidence. There is no doubt that he is a quality player, but the move to Germany has not worked out as expected.
Regardless, he is highly rated across Europe, and his Bayern Munich teammate, and the former Tottenham star Harry Kane, has labelled him as a “fantastic” player.
Palhinha would improve Spurs
He has the quality and the experience to improve Spurs, and they would do well to secure his signature. They need more physicality and a combative presence in the middle of the park. Palhinha will protect their defensive unit and allow the creative players to operate with more freedom.
Tottenham have an attractive project and a quality manager. The Portuguese international will certainly see the possibility of playing for them next season. He will hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement quickly. The Portuguese international will look to sort out his long-term future and focus on his football once again.
Yves Bissouma is likely to be on his way out of the club, and Palhinha could be the ideal replacement.
