​Tottenham boss Nuno keen on Sporting CP midfielder Joao Palhinha

Tottenham are engaged in a transfer move for Joao Palhinha from Sporting Lisbon.

The 26-year-old is keenly admired by new Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

According to A Bola, both Spurs and Wolves have shown an interest in Palhinha this summer.

The midfielder has a £50million release clause, but any interested club would want to negotiate a lower fee.

Palhinha impressed with Sporting in the league last term, while he also starred for Portugal at Euro 2020 in the summer.
