Tottenham Hotspur has secured a major coup in the transfer market, with Bayern Munich giving the final green light for the loan signing of Portuguese midfielder João Palhinha.

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.
