Tottenham line up swoop for Harry Kane's Bayern Munich team-mate

<p>Per the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/07/24/tottenham-plot-joao-palhinha-move-son-heung-min-depart/" target="_blank">Telegraph</a>, Spurs are interested in signing Palhinha this summer. The north London club are working on a deal to sign the Portugal international, who only moved to Bayern from Fulham last summer. The newspaper quotes sources who claim that there is a belief Spurs can reach an agreement to land the midfielder, who made just six starts last season. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Spurs head on their tour of Asia on Sunday and any interest is not expected to be formalised before then. Spurs would rather sell a midfielder before recruiting Palhinha and Yves Bissouma is seen as the most likely to leave, given that his contract expires next summer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Palhinha is 30 and falls outside of Spurs' usual recruitment profile; the club have not signed a player aged 30 or older for a transfer fee since they acquired Fernando Llorente from Swansea City in 2017. They have signed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-get-their-man-spurs-complete-huge-gbp55m-deal-to-sign-mohammed-kudus-from-bitter-rivals-we/bltb6cab3b0f92dd2b9" target="_blank">Mohammed Kudus</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-agree-shock-deal-japanese-centre-back-kota-takai-kawasaki-frontale-j-league-record-fee/bltf890fb3f3399138a" target="_blank">Kota Takai</a> this summer, as well as confirming the permanent signings of Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-frank-completes-first-tottenham-signing-permanent-mathys-tel-bayern-munich/blte769a916ab789be6" target="_blank">Mathys Tel</a>. They have also triggered <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/why-nottingham-forest-owner-evangelos-marinakis-wants-morgan-gibbs-white-to-join-man-city-fury-over-tottenham-bid-revealed/bltbae2da2267b68c9e" target="_blank">Morgan Gibbs-White's £60 million ($81m) release clause</a> but Nottingham Forest are attempting to block the deal. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Spurs have two friendlies to take part in on Saturday; they play Wycombe Wanderers in a friendly at their Hotspur Way training ground, before playing Luton Town at Kenilworth Road later that day. </p>
