Tottenham
Hotspurs midfielder Paulinho is set to move next month as Brazilian side Cruizero
are taking interest in him.
Cruizero
sporting director Alexandre Mattos is keen to land the Brazilian star as he is
struggling at the Premier League club. The 26-year-old has not been preferred
by new Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino. He has made five Premier League appearances
this season but is yet to start his first League game.
Cruzeiro
sporting director thinks that Paulinho will be ready to return to homeland
rather than wasting his time in London.
The
former Corinthians midfielder was signed last year by Spurs for a reported fee of
£25million. He played 30 games in the Premier League last season but is yet to
find a positive response from the boss Pochettino this term.
Mattos
told Radio Itatiaia that Tottenham have not replied yet but he is confident
that it would be easy to land Paulinho as the player is eying first team
football.
Meanwhile,
reports have also linked the Brazilian with the Serie A side Inter Milan as the
former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is keen to sign him.
The
Italian outfit are hoping for a loan move with an option to buy him for
£12million after the season.
