BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham confirm Paulinho signing

BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham confirm Paulinho signing
The highly rated 24-year-old has joined the north London outfit from Copa Libertadores champions Corinthians for a fee potentially rising to a club record £17 million

Tottenham have announced the signing of Corinthians and Brazil midfielder Paulinho.

Dailyspotsnews revealed that the north London outfit agreed a £17 million deal with Corinthians for the versatile midfielder in June, but confirmation of the deal was put on hold until after the Selecao's involvement in the Confederations Cup.

Spurs have paid £15 million for the 24-year-old with a further £2m in potential add-ons that would break the club's record transfer fee.

Andre Villas-Boas is now expected to turn his full attention to bolstering his strikeforce as the club look to mount a challenge for a top-four finish next season, with Barcelona forward David Villa nearing a move and Aston Villa star Christian Benteke the subject of an enquiry.
