The wait is finally over with Spurs confirming the signing of 24 year old Brazilian midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians. A statement on the club’s official website reads,
‘We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the transfer of Paulinho from Corinthians after the Brazil international successfully completed his medical.
‘The 24-year-old, capped by Brazil 17 times, helped his country to FIFA Confederations Cup success last Sunday with victory against world champions Spain and also scored the equaliser against England in the 2-2 draw at the Maracana last month.’
Full statement can be read here but in the meantime we welcome Paulinho to the Lane and look forward to seeing this exciting, gifted player in a Lilywhite Shirt.
