Spurs agree deal to take Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha on loan; Palhinha signed for Bayern from Fulham for £47.4m last summer and has three years remaining on his current deal

Palhinha was Fulham’s player of the season in his debut campaign at Craven Cottage and made 79 appearances in total for the club. Before his move to the Premier League, he had spent the entirety of his senior career in Portugal with Sporting CP and had several loan spells elsewhere.

Tottenham are understood to have opened talks with Bayern Munich over the potential loan signing of Joao Palhinha. Palhinha joined Bayern from Fulham last summer in a deal worth up to £47.4million, but endured a difficult debut campaign in Germany.
