Midfielder Joao Palhinha is set to leave Bayern Munich after just one year, sporting director Christoph Freund has confirmed, with Tottenham Hotspur the reported destination. Freund said after Bayern's 2-1 win over Olympique Lyon in a pre-season friendly on Saturday that Palhinha is in talks with another club.

Palhinha was Fulham’s player of the season in his debut campaign at Craven Cottage and made 79 appearances in total for the club. Before his move to the Premier League, he had spent the entirety of his senior career in Portugal with Sporting CP and had several loan spells elsewhere.

Tottenham are in talks over a loan move for Bayern Munich's João Palhinha, a source has told ESPN. The 30-year-old only joined Bayern last summer following a €50 million ($57m) move from Fulham but suffered with fitness issues and made just six starts in the Bundesliga.
