Guangzhou Evergrande in pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Paulinho

Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande are in the mix to sign Paulinho from Tottenham.


Sky Sports suggests that the out-of-favour Spurs midfielder has emerged on the radar of Guangzhou who are managed by the player's former Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.

26-year old Paulinho has already attracted interest from Premier League new boys Watford but it appears as though Tottenham are now in talks with Guangzhou.

However, any potential deal would have to see Spurs receive a massive transfer fee after they paid Corinthians £17million for Paulinho in the summer of 2013.
