Tottenham have signed Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha on a season-long loan deal.
The 30-year-old, who joined the German side from Fulham in 2024, was limited to just 17 Bundesliga appearances last season.
Spurs boss Thomas Frank was keen to sign a defensive-minded midfielder following his appointment, with question marks over the futures of Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Tottenham also have the option of signing Palhinha on a permanent basis at the end of his loan.
The Portugal international has significant Premier League experience, making 68 top-flight appearances in two years at Fulham before his move to Bayern for £42.
