Tottenham have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich to sign Joao Palhinha on loan with an option to buy. The former Fulham midfielder will undergo a medical before putting pen to paper on a season-long switch. Palhinha, who had interest from elsewhere, made his intention to join Spurs clear once he heard of their interest in him.

Palhinha, 30, only signed for Bayern from Fulham in a deal worth €51m last summer, but started just 10 matches in 2024-25.

Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund has expressed his confidence that Joao Palhinha's proposed summer move to Tottenham Hotspur will be wrapped up quickly.
