It sounds almost to good to be true but it seems as if Paulinho will move to Guangzhou Evergrande, with the fee rumoured to be around £15m-£17m.
For Tottenham to get their money back on a player that has failed spectacularly at White Hart Lane would be an astonishing result. For Paulinho, it’s a step down but we’re sure the rumoured salary of £90,000 a week will ease the pain. Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.
Has Paulinho left yet? £15m Spurs would be stupid not accept that

Paulinho's move to China proves that he come to the UK for money.
See you later mate. Not one Spurs fan will miss you.

Paulinho is the worst footballer I've ever fucking seen. Why's he getting a pay rise?

We can celebrate that Paulinho is going but let's not let that overshadow the party when holtby leaves as well

So if we get alderweireld, konoplyanka and get rid of paulinho and barndoor that's a fucking good weekend right?

We all need to stop mugging Paulinho off. Someone in China is gonna get wind of it, look at his 'highlights' of 14/15 & call the deal off

Last year Real Madrid wanted Paulinho and now apparently is off to China. The guy is a decent player.

One of the many shining moments Paulinho had in a Spurs shirt https://t.co/9DZaobCD95

Some people just can’t make the grade at Spurs. A little more ice in the veins and more fire in the belly is required. Skill levels have to improve. Agression going forward, the skills to get behind defenders, the fitness and willingness to work hardest off the ball creating spaces and channels. Paulinho was unable to do this. Best wishes for the future Paulinho and I’m sure you tried your best.
Yippee we look as though we will get rid of a donkey and break the bank as well!!!!!
Lol Brian, I couldn’t agree more. Now for the rest.
