Tottenham are closing in on a loan move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha.
Talks between the clubs are at an advanced stage, with an agreement in principle in place.
An agreement over personal terms is unlikely to pose a problem and the deal is set to carry an option for the 30-year-old to make the transfer permanent.
Palhinha has significant Premier League experience, making 68 top-flight appearances in two years at Fulham before his move to Germany for £42.3m in July 2024.
However, the Portugal international has made just six Bundesliga starts since his move to Bavaria and is keen for a return to England.
Spurs have already made Mathys Tel’s loan move from Bayern permanent since the arrival of head coach Thomas Frank, while Mohammed Kudus has been signed from West Ham in a deal worth £55m.
They had previously looked to add to their midfield but failed in their pursuit of Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White.
