Joao Palhinha completes Tottenham move

Bayern Munich have sent Joao Palhinha out on on loan to Tottenham. 

The Portuguese international, who joined Bayern from Fulham in the summer of 2024, returns to England on a season-long loan deal, which includes a purchase option for Spurs. 

“João Palhinha unfortunately didn’t get the game time he hoped for at FC Bayern last season,” said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl. 

"We’ve found the best solution for all sides with Tottenham Hotspur. João can have a whole season at top European level there. We wish him all the best for the year ahead.”
