Tottenham ready to swoop for Brazilian international Paulinho
Tottenham are hoping to make Brazilian international Paulinho their first signing of the summer, as they prepare a £14.5million bid for the Corinthians man.
Spurs are reportedly allowing ten players to leave this summer, including midfielders Scott Parker, Tom Huddlestone and Andros Townsend, allowing plenty of room for new faces at White Hart Lane, while Gareth Bale could yet be on his way out of the club.
And Paulinho, who scored for Brazil in their 2-2 friendly draw with England two weeks ago, could help fill the void according to Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio.
Serie A sides Roma and Inter Milan are both believed to be interested in a move for the midfielder, but it looks as though Spurs are in the driving seat in the race for his signature.
Di Marzio tweeted: Tottenham, pending negotiation for Paulinho.
But despite Andre Villas-Boas keen interest in the 24-year-old, he was not the Portugueses first choice with Spurs only making a move after being turned down for Inters Fredy Guarin, who himself could be heading to Russian outfit Anzhi.
