Spurs have been in contact to sign 26-year-old midfielder – report – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign Palhinha, according to reports from Football Insider.
Spurs are keen to bolster their midfield this summer, with the futures of Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko in doubt.
The north London club signed Pierre Emile-Hojberg last summer, but it seems they need at least one more midfielder to their ranks.
The report claims that Spurs have been in contact to sign the 26-year-old defensive midfielder. Nuno Espirito Santo apparently is a keen admirer of the Portuguese international and wants the club to make a move for him.

This week, Spurs have been linked with a move for Inter Milan’s Marcelo Brozovic, but Palhinha would be a smart signing.
The defensive midfielder has a big release clause in his contract, but he could be signed for as little as £14 million.
The Portuguese midfielder is the first choice midfield target for Wolverhampton Wanderers, but it seems Spurs are also in the race for his signature as well.
Wolves need to offload some of their key players to fund moves for new arrivals. Spurs have a chance here but they have other targets as well.
This has been a solid transfer window from Spurs, with the north London club signing goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, winger Bryan Gil and centre-back Cristian Romero.
Joe Hart, Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld have left Spurs already, while the future of star striker Harry Kane still hangs in the balance.
