Joao Palhinha is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Tottenham and Bayern Munich, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Tottenham, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Nottingham Forest, Sporting and Man Utd may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. In season 25/26, Tottenham are conceding 1.53 goals per game (55 in 36 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Joao Palhinha would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. There are currently no rumoured links for either Bayern Munich or Tottenham.
