According to the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Notícias [Print Edition] via Sport Witness (h/t The Mirror), Tottenham Hotspur have received a boost as Sporting are ready to sell Joao Palhinha in the summer transfer window. He has been a late bloomer, having enjoyed quite a rise in the past few seasons.
Palhinha has become a key presence for club and country, especially over the last year or so, as he has raised his game to newer heights. That has helped him cement his authority in the Portugal national team, and he has been a regular for them ever since then. Tottenham are long term admirers of his talents, and they even tried to get him on loan when Nuno Espirito Santo was still the manager.
Now, Spurs are handed an opportunity as the Portuguese side is willing to part ways with the 26-year-old after this term. A price tag between £25million-£34million has been slapped for his services as Sporting are open to entertaining offers in that region. Tottenham are not alone, though, with Wolves also tracking him at this moment.
How highly do you rate João Palhinha?
