Liverpool Newsnow: Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a fight to sign Joao Palhinha, a midfielder for Fulham who just turned 27
Liverpool Newsnow: Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Joao Palhinha, as reported by Dean Jones of GiveMeSport. In the current season, the 27-year-old midfielder has been spectacular. His performance hasn’t gone overlooked, though.
In the winter of 2013, Palhinha enrolled in the Sporting CP youth program. He worked his way through the club’s levels and is now a key member of the first squad. Fulham saw his reliability and signed him before this season began. [ Liverpool Newsnow ]
For £17 million, the 27-year-old forward signed with the Cottagers. The Portuguese player committed to the team for the next five years. The end date of his contract is the summer of 2027.
