Tottenham has completed the signing of midfielder Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich on a season-long loan. The 30-year-old previously played for Fulham and made only 17 Bundesliga appearances last season. Spurs manager Thomas Frank sought a defensive-minded midfielder amid uncertainty regarding Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur's futures. The loan deal includes an option for a permanent transfer. Palhinha boasts substantial Premier League experience with Fulham and brings strong physical attributes, defensive skills, and leadership qualities to bolster Tottenham's midfield and defense.
Joao Palhinha has significant Premier League experience, making 68 top-flight appearances in two years at Fulham before moving to Bayern Munich for 42.3 million.
Palhinha's ability to win tackles and aerial duels is valuable, providing balance to Tottenham's creative midfield and a strong defensive presence.
