Spurs closing in on Palhinha loan move as midfielder arrives to undergo his medical with the North London side.
Joao Palhinha, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, is nearing a loan deal with Tottenham.
There is an agreement in principle in place, and the clubs are in advanced stages of negotiations.
The 30-year-old will have the option to make the transfer permanent as part of the deal, and an agreement over personal terms is unlikely to provide any issues.
Prior to moving to Germany for £42.3 million in July 2024, Palhinha made 68 top-flight matches in two years at Fulham, giving him substantial Premier League experience.
The Portugal international, though, is eager to return to England and has only made six Bundesliga starts since moving to Bavaria.
Since head coach Thomas Frank took over, Spurs have already made Mathys Tel’s loan from Bayern permanent, while Mohammed Kudus has joined the team for £55 million from West Ham.
They had earlier attempted to bolster their midfield but were unsuccessful in their attempt to sign Morgan Gibbs-White, the captain of Nottingham Forest.
