Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha, according to Dean Jones.
He told Give Me Sport that Spurs are keeping an eye on him ahead of the summer transfer window.
Palhinha has been a valuable addition to the Cottagers since joining the team for a fee of £20 million last year.
His performance has been excellent, and has made a positive impact on the team.
The team, led by Marco Silva, appears to be on track to secure their spot in the top-flight league for next season.
However, it is possible that Palhinha may not be with the team in the future.
According to Dean Jones, both Tottenham and Liverpool are interested in acquiring the former Sporting star.
Jones stated that both teams are admirers of Palhinha and are considering making a move for him.
According to the report, Fulham are keen to retain the midfielder and will likely do everything in their power to keep him at Craven Cottage.
Therefore, any team interested in signing him will likely have to make a significant offer to tempt him to leave.
Tottenham’s interest is somewhat surprising, as they already have a number of talented midfielders including Pape Matar Sarr and Oliver Skipp who are vying for more playing time under Antonio Conte.
However, he is widely considered an ‘excellent‘ player with the potential to continue improving, so his addition to the team could potentially strengthen their midfield.
On the other hand, Liverpool’s interest in him may be more understandable as they have struggled this season and have had issues in the midfield.
It seems that they may be looking to revamp their midfield in the near future, and Palhinha could potentially be a valuable addition to the team.
