SPURS COMPLETE PALHINHA LOAN COUP! TOTTENHAM LAND BAYERN MIDFIELDER FOR SEASON-LONG DEAL
Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of João Palhinha on a loan deal from Bayern Munich, with the option to make the move permanent for £26 million. The Portuguese midfielder returns to the Premier League just one season after departing Fulham for Germany.
Palhinha, now 30, made a strong impression during his time in England, earning a reputation as one of the league’s most effective defensive midfielders. Despite a high-profile switch to Bayern last summer, his first year in the Bundesliga didn’t bring the regular game time he hoped for. That opened the door for Spurs to act—and they’ve now secured a deal that could prove a major boost to their midfield.
The agreement gives Tottenham a full season to assess Palhinha’s impact before deciding whether to trigger the buy option. Known for his tough tackling, physical presence, and ability to read the game, he brings qualities that could complement Thomas Frank’s system perfectly as Spurs gear up for another European campaign.
This marks another important addition in what has been an active transfer window for Tottenham, who are reshaping their squad following the departure of long-serving captain Son Heung-min. Palhinha’s experience, Premier League pedigree, and positional versatility make him an ideal fit as the team seeks more stability in the middle of the park.
The midfielder is expected to join Spurs' pre-season training immediately and could feature in their opening fixtures. He will wear the number 5 shirt as he begins the next chapter of his career in North London.
