Tottenham are considering signing Joao Palhinha permanently from Bayern Munich.

Since joining from Bayern Munich Joao Palhinha has been instrumental to Tottenham’s bright start to the season.

The defensive midfielder has been a much-needed addition to Thomas Frank’s squad, helping the team look much better in defense. Palhinha’s instant impact has sparked talk of Tottenham signing him on a permanent basis from Bayern Munich.

The £26-27 million buy option in Palhinha’s contract seems reasonable, considering his impressive performances. If he continues to shine, it would be a no-brainer for Tottenham to make the permanent arrangement.

Palhinha himself is likely interested in returning to the Premier League permanently, having settled quickly into the league during his loan spell at Fulham previously.

Palhinha’s influence on Tottenham’s midfield has been evident, with the team winning five of their opening eight matches across all competitions. His physical presence, reading of the game, and leadership qualities have strengthened the squad, making a strong case for his permanent signing.

The trust between Palhinha and Thomas Frank is also a significant factor in the potential permanent deal. Their relationship reflects on the pitch, and such understanding is not easily bought. Palhinha’s versatility, having played as a center-back in the Doncaster win, adds extra value to his potential signing.
