Tottenham Hotspur star Joao Palhinha has always been known for his incredible understanding of the game on the pitch, and he has now showcased that he has elite ball knowledge as well. The Bayern Munich loanee aced the Lilywhites' 'guess the career path: Portugal edition' challenge after correctly guessing 11 players by looking at their clubs over the years.
Joao Palhinha has hit out at Bayern Munich for denying him the chances he “deserved,” describing his time in Germany as one of frustration and lost rhythm. The Portugal international, now thriving on loan at Tottenham, says he feels “happy and trusted” again as he enjoys a fresh chapter in familiar Premier League surroundings.
Bayern Munich reportedly "hope" that Tottenham will complete a permanent deal for Joao Palhinha, who does not feature in Vincent Kompany's plans. The Portuguese midfielder arrived in Germany from Fulham with high hopes, but his time under the Belgian manager has been nothing short of a disaster. Out of favour and out of his Kompany's plans, Bayern now want rid, and Spurs could be the perfect escape route.
Tottenham owners ENIC are set to inject £100 million (€115m/$135m) into the club as they look to progress following the sacking of long-serving chairman Daniel Levy.
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha on loan for the season with a €30 million (£26m) buy option. The 30-year-old will become the second player to join Spurs from the German champions this summer, following Mathys Tel's permanent switch. Palhinha will undergo medical tests before finalising the move to north London.
