#loan-to-buy

Thomas Frank's team signed the former Fulham midfielder from Bayern Munich this summer in a loan move and since his move from the Bundesliga, where he struggled for playing time, the Portuguese midfielder has impressed for Spurs. In five Premier League matches this season, Palhinha has scored one goal but more than his goal contribution, his ability to bring stability to the midfield and add strength has worked wonders for the North London club.

Sheffield United's Gus Hamer could seal a loan move with an obligation to buy worth 15-20m before the end of the summer transfer window, FourFourTwo understands. The reigning Championship Player of the Year has remained at Bramall Lane throughout the summer, despite prior interest from the likes of Leeds United and PSV Eindhoven. Sheffield United missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, defeated by Sunderland at Wembley Stadium in the Championship play-off final.

Real Betis and Manchester United are hopeful of reaching an agreement for Brazilian winger Antony before Monday's transfer deadline, sources have told ESPN. There is confidence on both sides that a deal will materialise before the end of the window. United, according to sources, would prefer a permanent move. Betis, meanwhile, are keen to negotiate an initial loan with either an option or obligation to make the deal permanent next summer.
