Luiz backs Paulinho to impress at Spurs
metro 
The midfielder, who also scored against England in the 2-2 friendly draw earlier this month, has been tracked by Spurs all summer and they had a £17m bid accepted by the Brazilian side last week.
And Luiz, who knows all about what it takes to succeed in Englands top flight having joined Chelsea over two years ago, insists his international team-mate can impress in north London.
Paulinho is a fantastic player, both defending and attacking. He is complete, so he can come to England. Its a great moment for him, he said.
The 24-year-old is expected to remain with Corinthians until at least July 18 to help them in their pursuit of Recopa Sudamericana glory.
But it is believed the midfielder will sign a four-year deal with Villas-Boas side shortly after.
