"One hundred per cent. We have to start from this type of people. More than players, we need reliable people, reliable players. Palhinha is one of the best, as a player for sure, but as a guy. I want to see players with the same passion, the same attitude, the same spirit and the same personality. We are lucky to have him with us."
"Spurs moved out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, but remain just one point ahead of West Ham United with three games left to play. If Tottenham do get the results they need from their remaining fixtures against Leeds, Chelsea and Everton, they will be hoping to put two awful league campaigns behind them."
"You may like Joao Palhinha's recent performances in the Tottenham midfield have stood out after a series of disjointed and incoherent performances from the team side over the course of the campaign. The Portuguese international joined on loan from Bayern Munich last summer having struggled to make an impact at the club following his move from Fulham."
"Tottenham are reported to have an option to make Palhinha's move permanent this season for a 27m fee. De Zerbi was unequivocal when asked if he wants to club to trigger that clause, saying: "One hundred per cent."
Tottenham are planning summer transfers under the assumption they remain in the Premier League. After moving out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa, they sit one point ahead of West Ham with three matches remaining. If results go their way against Leeds, Chelsea, and Everton, they aim to move past two poor league campaigns. Roberto de Zerbi’s first priority is Joao Palhinha, whose loan from Bayern Munich included an option for Tottenham to make the deal permanent for a reported £27m. De Zerbi emphasizes Palhinha’s value as both a player and a person, highlighting reliability and the right attitude to build a new team identity.
